Ok.. So do you know what change is needed in the script? I can’t figure out anything…

`--no-default-folder` needs to be removed, as Syncthing doesn’t create a default folder anymore, and therefore the option disabling it doesn’t exist.
> A “default folder” is no longer created on first startup.
The `-no-browser`, `-home` and `-gui-address` options need to use double-dashes instead, because v2 dropped support single-dash options.
> Modernised command line options parsing. Old single-dash long options are no longer supported, e.g. `-home` must be given as `--home`. Some options have been renamed, others have become subcommands. All serve options are now also accepted as environment variables. See `syncthing --help` and `syncthing serve --help` for details.

Thanks a tonn @bt90 and @marbens . I managed to modify the start.sh file as suggested and it worked after that. It took sometime to migrate to sqlite but the progress was visible on the UI. Everything is working fine now.

Someone could PR that towards WD as well…

Is there any place to get the Syncthing v2 .bin for OS5? I installed it with the v1 .bin but naively hit the upgrade to v2 button and bricked it. Now I’m in the same spot @aforank was but I don’t know how to fix it. (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8384 shows connection refused despite uninstalling and reinstalling the v1 .bin)

Have you found it? I’m still searching for Syncthing v2 .bin for WD My Cloud EX2 Ultra OS5

Negative @arlybep1 ☹ nobody replied and I haven’t had time to look into it by modifying start.sh yet. 1.3 runs fine for me for now anyways. would appreciate if someone reached out nevertheless 😉
