Out of Sync
shows how much data needs to be synchronized from other devices. Note that this is the sum of all out of sync *files* - if you already have parts of such a file, or an older version of the file, less data than this will need to be transferred over the network.
+Error
+ describes the problem when the folder is in state Stopped. One possible
+ message is "folder marker missing". This means that the root directory of
+ this folder does not contain a file or directory called
+ ``.stfolder`` (marker). Syncthing stops when this marker goes missing to
+ prevent data loss e.g. when the folder path was unmounted. If the marker
+ was deleted accidentally, just recreate it and press the rescan button
+ in the UI.
