I have a sync folder setup on 3 devices, an Windows PC and two android devices. It’s a folder full of documents. Somehow, only the non-PDF files keep getting deleted. It’s become very problematic as I use the folder to sync stuff for studying.
Please provide more details on the steps you are taking.
Is this happening on all devices or just on Android?
Did you check that Syncthing has permission to delete the files?
Are the files opened while Syncthing tries to delete them?
Please post screenshots and version info of Syncthing.
There is also a “out of sync” log window that shows you why Syncthing is unable to process the changes
I’m sorry but we cannot help you if you don’t provide more information.
Is this happening with all pdf files or just a few? If only a few are affected, what is different with them compared to others?
Please try to recreate the problem for easier bug tracking.
What happens if you move the files to another location inside the shared folder? Also try putting the files into a new Syncthing folder, share it with other devices and check if this works or not.
How do I get the logs saved in a file? Whenever I run syncthing, I can only see the logs related to the current session. How to enable logging to a file? It’s not possible for me to detect a delete as soon as it happens.
