Trying to pinpoint why files are being deleted

Hi,

I’ve recently encountered some kind of uncontrolled files deletion on at least one of my Syncthing share. Basically a bunch of files got deleted for no apparent reason.

At first I blamed myself for misclicking on some file deletion, but after restoring the files from the file versionning I had activated, the file got deleted again (and this time for some reason the versionning would get me none of the file I previously recovered).

While I’m “ok” with that since I also happened to have an offline backup of this share (with a device that I took out of the pool recently but still had those files) and could recover, I’m trying to pinpoint the cause and need a bit of help with that. I’m using SyncTrayzor on my main and secondary computers (and its DownloadLog.csv clearly state said files were “deleted” from that share), Syncthing on Android, a Synology NAS and a remote dedicated server.

My question is, is there a way to get a more precise logging on who does what on a syncthing share? Right now my logs are:

  • DownloadLog.csv [3 sample entries, total is around 60 files] :

There is recent changes button which shows what changes have been recently made by who.

Thanks for the information, never noticed it since it’s at the end of the device list (and I have quite a lot). Now I noticed that it was my phone that was at fault, time to investigate why…
