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?

Not 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.

It 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.

I'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?

		Not quite, I just purged the app from my phone entirely, including all settings, and then reinstalled it.
