Syncthing is not sending files between devices

syncthing-not-sending-files-either-way-v0-0vyki5amy3jd1

I’m trying to sync Obsidian with my Android, but no file gets transferred either way, even thought it says it’s all right. Also, syncthing created some folders on my obsidian folder on my phone, it’s that necessary? Can someone help me?

Folders created on the obsidian folder in my phone:

My syncthing is getting updated with new files both on PC and Android, but they are not getting transferred.

It seems that you have shared the folder as “Receive Encrypted” instead of the default “Send & Receive”. That is why you’re seeing all those syncthing-enc folders. It doesn’t seem though that “Receive Encrypted” is what you want, as you’ve stated that you intend to sync Obsidian files between the two devices, so I’m assuming that you want them to exist on both sides in a usable state.

At this point, I would suggest to remove all the folders from Syncthing, then on Android use any file explorer app to go to the Obisidian folder and manually delete all those syncthing-enc folders. After doing all that, share the folder again, but this time use the default folder type, which is “Send & Receive”.

Thank you for the clarification. It’s fixed now.
