Unable to sync with saber cloud about saber HOT 19 CLOSED

The problem still persists - can't sync between devices...

from saber.

Same here Saber v0.24.1 syncs to the nextcloud server with what looks like the right file size, but there is no syncing between my Android devices. I have a phone and a tablet each has the same version of saber and each is setup to sync to the same Nextcloud account with the same encryption password. They both sync there files to the saber folder but files created on the phone don't show up on the tablet and viz versa. I have also installed Saber on ubuntu as a snap and have the same issue, no syncing between devices. I am running Nextcloud 29.02 behind an nginx reverse proxy. Other apps that are using nextcloud sync are working fine. eg. Moonreader, files, notes deck etc.

While we are at it although I love the Saber software, I don't like the app lock in, by forcing encryption when you sync to Nextcloud (this should be optional). If for some reason Saber goes away or stops working, I would need to get to my notes another way. There are plenty of encryption options external from Saber that a user could choose, if they decided they needed that level of security. Thanks again for the great work

same here! have the same bahaviour using the flatpack 0.24.1 on linux and 0.24.1 on android.
I also saw the same journal entry described above.

I've attached a video reproducing this behavior

EDIT: I use my own nextcloud but have the exact same behaviour

@adil192, sorry to ping you like this but (as other people are also pointing out) this issue still persists.
Can you reopen, please?

from saber.

This issue was introduced after 0.23.0.
I can get syncing to work flawlessly between my android devices on that version.

see #1314

@gewinh
Regarding the encryption, I absolutely support you on that! IMO this should be an option for the user to decide.
The enabled encryption (which is great to provide encryption by default) could be a default recommendation, which can be disabled on setup behind a "I know what I'm doing" button or similar.
Please create a separate, trackable issue for this as this issue #1304 should only be tracking the sync issue. ;)

Thank you for the fix. Can confirm this issue on 0.24.1 FOSS version with own NC.

The "App lock in" isn't actually that bad. You can freely export your notes (to PDF or SBA), if you want to. I think it's good enough for the use-case you described. But, as @TekkertheChaot said, don't mix up two things in one issue, please. If you want to discuss this a bit more, create a new issue/discussion for it.

Just curious, has this been fixed with v0.24.2?

from saber.

Syncing was rewritten in 0.24.0

Yeah but the issue persists in 0.24.1 so this needs attention

Trying to sync with v0.24.3 clients (flatpack and android) unfortunately still has this issue:
Jul 22 16:25:51 Veldin flatpak[3725]: flutter: WARNING: SaberSyncInterface: Failed to get sync file from remote file: Exception: Decryption failed for Saber/
I had fresh-installed app in both plattforms and removed the previous Saber files on Nextcloud.

@adil192 Can we reopen this issue or should we create a dupe?

from saber.

That message is expected behaviour, it's just because Saber/ is a folder and not a file

Hmm, alright. Either way, I can't seem to sync notes between devices.
So this message probably doesn't relate to the sync issue?
Should I record another reproduction with the new versions? Maybe I am missing something crucial...

I also am unable to sync between devices.

from saber.

I have four devices connected to a self-hosted nextcloud instance, a ThinkPad running Ubuntu, Steam Deck, Samsung phone, and a Samsung tablet. All devices connect to the server, and all think they are syncing. But I have four separate sets of synced files. It's like the devices sync to the server in their own isolated storage compartments.

from saber.

I have opened a new issue #1326 in hopes to avoid it being overlooked.
Hopefully someone of the moderators / contributors can sort this out.

(I know this is dirty and not the intended way of handling / against the CoC, but I'm trying to keep this on the radar as long as I cannot contribute something useful by myself to the project ❤️)

from saber.

For anyone still having this issue and monitoring this thread, it seems this issue is being tracked by #1320 .
