Stopping folder "open /storage/extSdCard/Audiobooks/.stfolder: permission denied" - %!v(MISSING)

Hey guys, hope you can help me out.

I can’t get around this issue, could you please try to understand what is wrong and how to solve it? I googled but couldn’t find any useful info.

Thank you!

See https://github.com/Nutomic/syncthing-android/issues/168 You can try creating a .stfolder file inside the root of the folder and see if that helps.

Hi Audrius, thanks for the quick response. I wasn’t able to create a .stfolder file, I created a .stfolder folder and the software went on and tried to sync.

But now I’m getting this error:

19:44:11: Folder “Audiobooks_celu” isn’t making progress - check logs for possible root cause. Pausing puller for 1m0s.

What could be the issue? Will it help creating a logcat? How do I do what?

Thanks again!

Why weren’t you able to create a file? I have no clue how to make a logcat, if you were to run the binary manually there should be more details in the log.

I would guess that whatever is making the ‘stfolder’ create fail with “permission denied” is also making the sync fail. The android file system and permission stuff is “special”…

Can’t get it to work. I formatted the SD card from the computer, created the .stfolder file manually there and I still get the error 22:06:10: Folder “Audiobooks_celu” isn’t making progress - check logs for possible root cause. Pausing puller for 1m0s.

Any ideas? It is stock Android 4.4, it’s not rooted and it’s a standard microSD card that I’m trying to sync to.

Is there any more logs though?

I don’t really know how to obtain more logs, could you tell me how to on Android?

You should ask https://github.com/Nutomic/syncthing-android for help.
