Comment on Syncthing alternatives
ZeDoTelhado@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoThat is actually a good question, in this case the HDD is totally fine. Thing is, the photos only get corrupted very rarely (probably 1 every 3000 or so, and only sometimes) and often photos that got transfered several times to the phone (usually the problem is in the phone. On the desktop never had that)
As for immich, I do know about of but seems to be a bit much for what I need (and only photos AFAIK)

…could it be your phone’s storage is failing then?

Had a pixel 8, and now a new pixel 9a. I think the problem is actually a bit messy. On my house I have several access points. There is a chance when syncthing is working, and I am going up or down, phone changes the access point. Syncthing possibly gets a ’ oppsie, didn’t finish that! Let’s go for the next one’ kind of issue. Of course, never looked into logs or anything so this is just pure speculation.
Usually the kind of corruption on the photos is the kind that beginning is always there, but at some point gets replaced with gray, hence my theory about the files.

Yea, gotta be something odd with your setup.
Currently I have one phone (of several) thats syncing en excess of 10,000 files, some only on Wifi (with 3 access points), some wifi/cell data.
ST knows the state of a file, so a disconnect should have no effect. If you’re getting corrupted files, I wonder if something else is going on which may also affect another sync tool.
Try Resilio for the same folders, see if you have the se problem (disable aybthing of course, otherwise conflicting edits will cause file corruption).

I checked their page and I have now a personal license. I am going later to try to find out how it works, so we will see

Could be a bad AP.
I once had a switch with a failing power supply that would corrupt MP3 artwork. That was a weird one to track down.

That sounds like a crazy story to find out what the issue was. As I stated somewhere on the thread, ram is not the issue, and the APS are quite new (Aruba stuff that is 1 and a half year old). And the only situation I get this issues is with my phones in specific. I will probably use the smb solution stated before and see how is goes. If the thing still happens, then is hunting time
