.SS I am seeing the error message “folder marker missing”. What do I do?
.sp
Syncthing uses a specific marker usually called \fB\&.stfolder\fP to determine whether
a folder is healthy. This is a safety check to ensure that your folder is properly
readable and present on disk. For example, if you remove a USB drive from your computer
or unmount a filesystem, then syncthing must know whether you have really deleted \fBall\fP of
your files. Therefore, syncthing always checks that the \fB\&.stfolder\fP is present.
.sp
When this error appears, syncthing assumes that the folder has encountered some type of error
and will stop syncing it until the \fB\&.stfolder\fP reappears. Once that happens, all changes made
to the folder locally will be synced (i.e. missing files will be considered deletions).

If you get this error message, check the folder in question on your storage. If you have
unmounted the folder (or a parent of it), you must remount it for syncthing to resume syncing
this folder.
.IP \(bu 2
If you have moved the folder, you must either move it back to its original location, or remove the
folder from within the syncthing UI and re\-add it at its new location.
.IP \(bu 2
If the folder is present on disk, with all of its children files and directories, but the \fB\&.stfolder\fP
is still missing:
.sp
It is possible that a file cleaning software has removed the \fB\&.stfolder\fP\&. Some software
removes empty folders, and the \fB\&.stfolder\fP is often empty. This happens particularly often on Android.
To remediate, recreate the \fB\&.stfolder\fP and add a dummy file in it, or add an exception to your
cleaning software.
.UNINDENT
.sp
If you are still unsure what has happened, you can remove the folder from within the syncthing UI and re\-add it
at the same location. This causes syncthing to attempt an automatic re\-creation of the \fB\&.stfolder\fP\&. Next,
it will also reset the database state of this folder. It will be considered a “new” folder, meaning that its files
will be merged with files from remote devices.

Also see the \fI\%marker FAQ\fP for more information about the folder marker.
