I use Obsidian to take notes. It uses plain text files that are not locked - I can remove them from the OS level (in Windows at least).
the vault (the folder where the text files are stored) is shared with other devices via Syncthing, and by nothing else.
no other device is active
I started to get conflict files (I did not have them before, but never mind). I read Understanding Synchronization to try to hunt them down. The files are for instance
In this case the cause the conflict is a buggy interaction with Android, so no need to look too deeply at that. Plenty of threads around, about it. As for the ID it is indeed the first part of the device ID that caused, or at least was involved in, the conflict.
Hmmm⊠I checked all the devices that are defined in my Syncthing and none matches that string (to be clear: none of the full strings contain 6ZDAKCM at any place)
This can also be transitive so if you have a device that is only connected to some but not all devices, conflicts can show up from devices not directly connected.
But are you certain that none of the other devices share the folder with a third party, so a device possibly not known to you? Like if youâre sharing with friends or family, one of them might have passed on the folder to their Android phone without your knowledge? Just a guessâŠ
