Hey there @platcat

 

Thanks for searching for the answer you need here! 
 

It's a good idea first to change the source of the local files on your PC. Simply create a new folder in a different directory on the device and move your local files to this folder.

 

Then just delete the old folder used for the local files. Now you can try syncing the files again with your iPhone.

 

If that doesn’t do the trick, just let us know and we’ll provide you with further help. 
 

Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.
