DCIM/Camera won't sync

Hi,

I am trying to use syncthing to sync my android DCIM/Camera directory with my Fedora 42 laptop.

I can’t get it to work properly, would someone provide guidance?

I use

  • syncthing.x86_64 v1.29.6-1.fc42
  • syncthing-fork v1.29.7.4

The phone is recognised over the LAN:

The global and local states are correct:

Some files seem to have been partly transfered:

Directories are correctly re-created…

Here is the last few entries of the laptop’s journal:

Thanks much for your help. I couldn’t find the time yet to make these tests, but I’ll come to it soon.

I also observed an error in the logs on the android side:

2025-07-11 07:40:29 casefs.go:204 basic /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera Lstat PXL_20240824_104744053.PANO.jpg {0x4007309980} 2025-07-11 07:40:29 casefs.go:204 basic /storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera Lstat IMG_20210809_142040.jpg {0x4007309a40}

This appears in the filesystem debug logs. I will report the issue on the syncthing-fork issue tracker

That’s not an error, that’s just a debug message.

Ok so I followed the instructions above, after also updating syncthing-fork to v1.30.0.1

I deleted the .stfolder on the Android device, deleted the old “share” from syncthing-fork, re-created a new one.

The analysis went through on the Android device.

I then triggered the sharing with the computer, accepted the sharing from the computer, and upload of the data started.

Out of the 55Gb to be shared, 407Mb have been sent, after which the transfer stalled again.

I have no idea what is causing this, nor how to investigate!

nope, everything was on

So it appears that every 30 minutes or so, a few Mbs are transferred. In between these periods of transfer, the connection is inactive.

Over the last 2 days, a few Gbs have been transferred.

This seems to be the issue

Same problem here
