In an organization with six PCs running SeaDrive on Windows 11, I’ve now experienced for the third time that changes made on a specific client aren’t being reflected on the server. Documents are being renamed and/or moved to different folders. These changes aren’t visible on the other systems.
SeaDrive indicates that it’s synchronizing the changed files, but it’s not actually synchronizing. The program doesn’t show any visible activity, but it’s not doing anything. However, the web interface clearly shows that the changes aren’t being reflected.
In the past, I’ve resolved this by installing the Seafile client instead of SeaDrive. But that’s not a solution for me, as I don’t want the documents synchronized locally on all PCs. And that’s precisely what SeaDrive is designed for.
It seems to me that SeaDrive is suddenly stopping synchronizing the files. However, I can’t find the cause. All PCs are logged into the Seafile server with the same user account.
I can’t make sense of the log files. This ist the first error in seadrive-gui.log:
[02/03/26 09:57:12] request failed for https://ablage.zpnh.ch/api2/repos/9a2556ae-ccb8-4896-944b-ddd8bdad24a1/thumbnail/?size=128&p=%2FDenvis Kalibrieren Kunde.pdf: {“error_msg”:“Permission denied.”}
What it means? The user has the permissions.
