How has syncthing been unreliable for you? Curious as I was going to start using it more. Was it something about large files or many files?

- barbazoo 1y agoNot op but personally I don’t really trust syncthing on iOS. Something about how Möbius sync works on the apple OS makes it so occasionally my folders disappear locally on my phone, triggering a deletion on all other devices.
- codethief 1y agoIt used to work very reliably for many years and I used it for pretty much everything (photos, ebooks, notes, Signal backups, …). However, last fall it simply stopped syncing (traffic at 0 B/s) in 90% of the cases, no matter the file size, even though my devices see each other and Syncthing recognizes that files are out of sync. I have already reset and reinstalled Syncthing various times – no idea what's going on. My gut feeling says that it's the Android client[0], but I'll have to find the time to look into this more closely.

- gausswho 1y agoI've also encountered this periodically and the way I've gotten things back to normal was to 'reset database' in Syncthing-Fork's troubleshooting settings. Is that what you meant by reset?
- codethief 1y agoNot quite, I just purged the app from my phone entirely, including all settings, and then reinstalled it.
