Probably a duplicate of https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/5779. You need to wait for the next stable release (or apply the command line ADB fix suggested in that issue).

You can change the syncthing path to /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/net.cozic.joplin/files/_sync And then no permission problem.

thanks for syncthing(thinking about everything)

[tomasz1986]

Except that Syncthing cannot access anything inside the .../Android/data folder, so changing the folder like that isn't very useful in this case :wink:.

I had find it, so maybe you can try. (l 'm not test it)

[tomasz1986]

Obviously, with root you can access anything. The same would be true for Joplin if it had an option to run as root.

This also happens in my household with different phones/tablets, unusable at the moment unfortunately
