import/export put basicSync in a reboot loop. twice.
I had to clean the storage and reconfigure from scratch

That's unlucky. It worked for me on first try.

Seemingly did for me as well. But haven't synced anything yet. Thanks for sharing.

Hm, it somehow deleted all my files at the sync destination. And now doesn't sync whats left on my phone. I think I'll start over with this when I have the time, it is just 2 different folders to setup for me anyhow.

Edit: welp, just in case someone wants to learn from my stupidity. Make sure you grant the app access to your filesystem or it cannot read the folder, will therefore assume the folder you want to sync is empty and then possibly delete all contents in the place you want to sync to. At least thats how it looks to me now.

I have set my phone to sync to my server, send only. Server receive only. Phone said nothing there to send anymore, the folder is empty, so maybe that caused the server to delete all those files. Oops.
