DecSync only updates once on Android, then folder gets stuck. #20

I'm having a problem with Android where the DecSync folder will only be updated once. I think the problem may have started because I updated my Chromebook to the latest version. I've attached a folder which was in use when the issue occurred. Sorry about the swearing in some of the entries. I was getting frustrated. :)

I tried upgrading the Android version to the latest, 1.2.3: didn't work. I tried downgrading both to version 1.2.1, also backing up entries and resetting the folder a few times (also completely obliterating SyncThing pair and creating one under a new ID): didn't work.

Adding entries on the Chromebook side seems to always work. New files get added to the directory on DecSync sync. But Android will not pick them up, and Android won't add new files for its entries, even when manually forced.

DecSync.tar.gz

I'm thinking it could have to do with the spaces / %20 in the directory name for Android, but I'm not sure where that value comes from so I can change it.

I'm using Etar as my frontend on both systems, and I'm pretty sure it's adding the calendar entries correctly because if I use "Calendar Import / Export" app I can see the number of calendar entries increase.

Thanks for the report! I don't think upgrading your Chromebook has anything to do with it, as Android should always add files for its new entries. I also don't think the spaces / %20 are the problem either, as things like writing the name of the collection does work, and it should work either way. The spaces are replaces by %20 in the path as just a few characters are safe to use there. Spaces (and other potentially problematic characters) are replaced by %XX.

I am not sure what the problem is, though. It looks like DecSync CC doesn't have access to the contacts/calendars of Android. Could you disable and enable those permissions for DecSync CC in the settings? And what is your Android version?
