Allow to duplicate an existing Folder config on client

I see what you meant by that.

My issue is that my phone broke and I’ve replaced it with another.

I did manage to modify the Folder Path on the device, but I cannot import/move .stignore and .stfolder as I’ve lost these.

So, renaming the Folder Path just shows an error `folder marker missing`.

I’ve read the doc at FAQ — Syncthing documentation

Creating a `.stfolder` folder on my Android device in the Folders and rescanning from the Syncthing GUI fixed it. (now, it displays “Out of sync”, related to Option to disable the "override" button on a Folder (when out of sync) - #3 by Vadorequest, but that’s another matter)

Thank you!

It is possible that a file cleaning software has removed the .stfolder. Some software removes empty folders, and the .stfolder is often empty. This happens particularly often on Android. To remediate, recreate the .stfolder and add a dummy file in it, or add an exception to your cleaning software.
