2026-08-29 16:24:25:Error on folder “delete me later” (this-isjustatest-4789): folder path missing
I am unable to figure out how to grant syncthing the permissions to work in said directory. Am I entering the folder path wrong? Looking for help online, it seems to potentially be related to ownership. All the files are only located on my device and I am the only account on my device. I was not able to make sense of the ownership concept beyond that extent.
I am on macOS running on Apple Silicon using syncthing GUI on Chromium.
Please let me know if you need more information. Thank you for your time.
You insert the disk and it’s mounted automatically under /Volumes. My guess is that the name is not precisely what you expect. You can auto complete it in the Syncthing GUI, or you can look in the Finder (go explicitly to /Volumes), or you can ls /Volumes in the terminal.
This issue was related to using an encryption software that unlocks my file/folder and mounts it using Fuse-T. Whilst your advice was not the right solution, it greatly helped. ls showed me I was in the wrong directory (syncthing didn’t do anything wrong).
I was able to find out that on macOS, if you enable View Path in Finder (using the view button in the menu bar at the very top of the screen), you can right click the path (near the bottom) and enter terminal into the current folder. Then you can use cd .. continually until you discover the entire path. My folder was deeply nested some place else (not in volumes but the user folder)
In my case the solution was something like this:
~/Library/Application Support/REDACTED/mnt/REDACTED/test
Thanks Jakob, and thanks for some fire software. Cheers.
P.S. Is it possible to change the title of this post to something more appropriate?
