Description

Folders may fail to sync due to transient or permanent errors (e.g. access denied). Errors with one or more folders should not stop syncing the remaining folders. After sustained errors the folder syncing should be paused or skipped during an initial sync. These errored folders should then be checked periodically (e.g. once a day) to see if syncing is now possible.

Research direction

The issue does not identify files, tests, or a sync entry point, so first trace how folder syncing currently handles errors. Define behavior for transient and permanent failures, including continuing other folders, pausing or skipping sustained failures, and periodic retry checks; done means these cases are covered and syncing continues correctly.
