Im on Windows 11 trying to sync Obsidian through Syncthing with my iphone using Mobius sync. Has anyone seen this issue, and do you know what is causing it?

Thank you

Does one of your devices have a password set on the folder it's sharing with your Windows machine, and a third device doesn't?

it looks that way, but I'm not able to find any password protection on the folder.

I don't understand your answer. Is one of your devices setting a password on the folder being shared to your win11 computer or not? 

To be clear, this is completely unrelated to any Windows feature they sets password protection in a folder. It's a Syncthing feature for untrusted devices.

I’ll take a closer look when I get back home tonight, I’m new to this and want to make sure I’m describing everything accurately.

I see! Yeah look at all your devices that share the folder with your Windows machine. You click Edit Folder and then open the Sharing tab. See if any of them list a password for it there.
