Joplin can't synchronize due to false positive
Dear Community,
I'm using Joplin application in replacement of Evernote. Joplin allows synchronization target selection and I chose Dropbox to host my notes. Unfortunately, Joplin complains abo...
Hi Greg,
Being myself an old dev (ok, offboard since ages ;-)), I fully understand the error message. What strikes me is just that... these files do not seem to live anywhere, to simply exist! No files in my local Dropbox folder, on any terminal, no files in my cloud Dropbox folder, no files anywhere! Why does Dropbox report these errors on ghost files? And more: how can I investigate further into this case?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Dropbox Community Moderatorjlgarnier The Dropbox API should only list files that are in the connected account. A few possibilities come to mind here:
- You may be looking in the wrong location for these files. For example, the Joplin app uses the "app folder" permission, so it would be operating only in the special app folder made for it, under /Apps/Joplin for accounts using the English locale, or with "Apps" localized for other languages.
- The files may be in a "hidden" folder so your search may not find them.
- If you have multiple accounts, you may be looking in the wrong account.
If you're having trouble tracking down these files, support may be able to help.
Hi Greg, thanks for the quick answer!
Checked the different points:
- all terminals are set with Locale=fr, so I hope all Joplin instances are reaching to \Applications\Joplin and don't mix with \Apps\Joplin. Moreover, everything was running fine until some weeks ago, with the same repository...
- I can't find any hidden folder but I'll try to identify those files from Joplin's key
- One account only, this clue could be ignored.
Thanks a lot, I'll keep you posted on my further findings!
