Conf.Language(77), msg: endpoint

Error message

Conf.Language(77), msg: endpoint [%s] is parent of workspace

What it means

Error from SetSyncProviderLocal: the endpoint is a parent directory of the workspace, so syncing into it would sweep the workspace into the synced data; rejected and reported through the localized template Conf.Language(77).

Solutions

1. Pick an endpoint that is not an ancestor of the workspace
2. Move sync data out of the workspace's parent chain
3. Reconfigure the local sync provider with a safe path
