What problem do you have? I use OneDrive sync, which is not even recommended, because OneDrive doesn't work well with syncing many tiny files, but it works surprisingly good. If I need to sync NOW (rarely), there's a menu item for that. Otherwise the automated sync was good for me.
I use Nextcloud and the server is on the same network. My problem is mainly with the mobile app, I have to remember all the time to tap on the sync button just to make sure my notes are up to date. And it doesn't do it in the background, I have to do it when I launch the app. The result is that if I open my notes while disconnected from WiFi I am stuck to whatever version it last synced.
And similarly, if I edit something on my phone while offline it will never sync, unless I remember to actually launch the app when I am back online. If only it could sync on the background like DAVx5 does for my calendar it would solve most of my problems.
Oh, I guess I never ran into that problem myself. I do use Joplin on my PC and on my Android phone. Thanks for the info.
