Device out of sync but folders are not

All folders were in sync on both devices. All folders were send and recieve, no receive-only folder included. Local and global states showed the same number of folders, files and size. Devices showed however they are out of sync as in Following post.

I found the solution to resolve this issue.

  • Long way - As already mentioned, delete the sync folder on “Laptop” and let Syncthing sync them again. For large amount of data although this takes time.
  • Quick way - Deleting the database with -reset-database on “Laptop” and restarting caused the folder to sync correctly onto all devices.

Steps to do this in SyncTrayzor menu are:

  1. Syncthing → stop Syncthing service
  2. Files > Settings > Syncthing-tab > Advanced-options > Add the flag “-reset-database”
  3. Syncthing → start Syncthing service: the service will immediately shut down with the message “INFO: Successfully reset database - it will be rebuilt after next start”
  4. Files > Settings > Syncthing-tab > Advanced-options > remove the flag “-reset-database”
  5. Syncthing → start Syncthing service Synthing will now start to rescan the items. After rescan is done all folders and also devices should be in sync. The proof.

Happy Syncthing. :slight_smile:
