Thank you.

We are not sure what caused this, do you use third party plugins?

To solve this.

  1. Have a backup
  2. Disable the sync core plugin and restart obsidian
  3. Enable the sync plugin and reconfigure it.

Hey WhiteNoise,

I have a ton of third party plugins but as part of the troubleshooting I disabled them all, as well as my current theme and my css snippets. So the error still appeared and I wasn’t sure what caused it.

It seemed as if I had hit the 255 character limit for folders in Windows. That was my hunch at least hunch.

But now that I disabled and re-enabled Sync it works flawlessly again. So I have no idea, but thank you for your help =)

What we believe happened is that something, we don’t know what, corrupted the internal data used to setup sync (not your notes).
