So for me the "locks" folder stays the whole time, but I had seen in one of the bug reports where someone got the same error and they deleted/remade that folder and the error was resolved (so I tried that). After looking further into it though, I believe it was a separate issue that was resolved with a subsequent update of Joplin.
My issue happens both initially upon installing the app with no data, and happens when I sync via something else (OneDrive/Dropbox/etc.) first, then try to sync to a folder that either has data in it or is empty (I've tried both).
I'm thinking it is something specific to the Android version as my Windows version is able to sync the same notes and all perfectly fine using Filesystem sync

3 years ago Just to make a quick test, now I've set in the .ignore file of syncthing the path "/locks" on all my systems. This could solve the problem ? We will see

I am trying to sync between Android and Windows 10 with Syncthing/copying the Joplin folder and am unable to. I get the error "Cannot acquire sync lock: either the lock could be written but not read back. Or it was expired before it was read again."
Syncing with other options (Dropbox/OneDrive), however, does not give me this error.
I have tried deleting/recreating the locks folder (as suggested by a previous user although I now believe it was for a different issue), clearing App Data/Cache, force stopping the app, re-installing the app, and finally exporting and re-importing on the Desktop version then copying the folder back to Android.
Joplin also has all of the correct permissions.
Environment
Joplin version: 1.7.3 and 1.7.10 Platform: Android and Windows OS specifics: Android 11 and Windows 10
