Joplin can't synchronize due to false positive
Dear Community,
I'm using Joplin application in replacement of Evernote. Joplin allows synchronization target selection and I chose Dropbox to host my notes. Unfortunately, Joplin complains about Dropbox errors since weeks and I still cannot solve them as it looks like Dropbox returns false positive: it flags several files, all named as "tp_advid_398941_trcid_30707_val__<32 hex chars>.gif" and no of these files can be found! They just don't exist!
How can either trick Joplin into thinking the sync went through or fix Dropbox so these ghost files are flagged "OK"?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi jlgarnier; welcome to our Community!
I'll be happy to have a look into this for you; I'll just need some additional information first.
Could you share a screenshot or two of the errors you mentioned and elaborate on how they relate to Dropbox so I can get a better understanding of the matter at hand?
Thanks!
Thanks Walter! Here's a bit of context:
- Using Joplin (https://joplinapp.org/) to store notes and web pages.
- Selected "Sync to Dropbox" in Joplin: the app created its own folder \Applications\Joplin to store notes as .md files
- Synchronized 2 laptops + 1 smartphone t the folder
- All went well for a time, no issue when creating/updating on one terminal and syncing to another
- Some weeks agon Joplin started to complain about fetchBlob errors with some files.
- Searched for the files (all the files): couldn't find any of these!
Here's a screenshot (in French) of the app debug report:
Joplin ghost files error
Hope this helps!
Thanks in advance for any help!
