Since yesterday I'm suddenly running into issues syncing my phone to my OwnCloud.

The error messages I get:

Looking at the provided message I've concluded there seems to be a problem with the space in 'WhatsApp Images'. So I've moved these files to a new folder /storage/sdcard0/WhatssApp/test spaced/ and retried.
The sync completed successfully and synclogchilds now contain the files with logType 'Uploaded':

Any suggestions on fixing the issue with WhatsApp Images?

Kind regards,

Removing the folderpair and recreating it seems to have resolved this issue.

Though now I'm struggeling with 'sync conflicts', because all files already exist remotely and I'm not looking forward to having to resync it all...
