Obsidian Sync stuck in syncing loop (re-uploading the same files)

Ctrl shift i. Do you see errors in console?

Not any error

Are you sure you restarted the app after enabling restricted mode?

When I enable restricted mode from the settings, Obsidian automatically reloads itself. Now I tried restarting Obsidian after this first reload and still having the same issue.

Try to move the file that it it is stuck out of obsidian and let it sync.

When it has done, move it back to the vault.

I did try this for one of the files, while keeping Obsidian in restricted mode running all the time. So using the file explorer I moved the file out, let Obsidian sync and it detected the change.

Then moved the file back in place, also using file explorer, which was also detected by Obsidian

...
2024-11-25 21:30 - Uploading file bois/Robinnier faux accacia.md
2024-11-25 21:30 - Upload complete bois/Robinnier faux accacia.md
...

After this, the file bois/Robinnier faux accacia.md is no longer part of the syncing loop.

Ok, we have had a handful of cases like this. Unfortunately we do not know what’s the cause yet.

Any updates on that? I seem to have the same error today for the first time, too. My MacOS syncs fine. Also, the files from MacOS are showing up in the Sync-Log on mobile, BUT they are NOT synced. I can’t see the files on the phone. And my changes from my phone don’t get synced or uploaded.

On the status of Obisidan, sync is mostly saying “initializing”, changes dedecting., or resuming if I stop and resume. I also tried disconnecting the Vault, closing the app, etc. Didnt help. Never had that before, and I have used it for many years.
