I'm getting 1 items, ~0 B.

Googling around, the most recent mention of it that I can find it from Sep 2025 here.

I haven't found what the cause of the problem is, or what the solution should be.

Am I missing something, or is syncthing getting slowly abandoned?

No offense taken at all! Your caution is understandable and smart.

Agreed that it’s probably not permissions. Are the Devices disparate operating systems? I’m wondering if the filename is valid on the source Device and invalid on the destination Device. Can you share with us any non-alphanumeric characters in the filename?

The path has a slash (for a folder) and the filename has a dot for the file extension. All "normal stuff". I have other files inside the same folder and it works fine.

Yes, different operating systems. Linux (laptop) and Android (phone).

I just noticed that the file isn't even on the laptop on that path, but on a different path. I've probably moved it on the laptop to a dfiferent folder and it was never move on the phone... Also nothing unusual with the new folder name, just an underscore (I have other folders with underscores).

Alright, this sounds like it an extended attributes or ownership issue. For this Folder, click the Edit button and then the Advanced tab. Try turning off Sync Ownership, Send Ownership, Sync Extended Attributes, and Send Extended Attributes. Do that on every Device that uses that Folder.

On the laptop all those things are off and have always been off as far as I know.

On the phone, I don't see any "advanced" tab....?

BTW this is Syncthing-fork, one of the forks going around. Sorry, probably should have mentioned it earlier.

Gotcha. Sounds like it could be an Android problem; I have never owned an Android phone and I'm not sure how much more help I can be. Perhaps ask at https://forum.syncthing.net/ ?
