I’m running DTTG 2.3 on iOS 11.1 (iPhone 6s) and I’m getting the notification “Can’t create database folder, path exists already.” I currently have more than 20G free space.
Devonthink seems to work just fine, but I get this notification about once a day.
Should I be worried about this? Is there a simple fix?

What kind of Sync is this - Dropbox?
Yes, sorry. Drop box and “on demand” (no complete file transfer)
In DTTG2’s Settings > Sync: Edit Locations, left-swipe the Sync location and choose Clean Location and Sync afresh. That should address the issue.
Hi @BLUEFROG I’m facing a similar issue today. My Mac started to complain saying: “Can’t create folder of database xxx, path exists already.” I run DEVONThink 3 on my Mac and DEVONThink To Go. I sync via iCloud. Is your advice to conduct the action Clean Location either on my Mac or on my iPhone applicable in my case too? And if so, should I concern the warning: “All databases will be completely removed from the sync store?” It sounds pretty scaring.
Thanks.
Do you use the latest version 3.0.3 of DEVONthink 3?
Updated to 3.0.3. Didn’t help.
Are you able to successfully verify the sync store? See contextual menu in Preferences > Sync.
