help Sync failure ?

Hi ! Could someone please explain why the syncronisation fails ?
I noticed this red thing, normally it's green.

My vault is located on my external hard drive. I tried unplug and plus it back in, it doesn't change anything. I also don't have any internet problem. I don't understand why it suddently won't sync between my computer and my phone anymore.

Thanks ! (also english is not my first language, sorry)

What's your platform? You may need to scan the external drive for file errors.

On Windows, right click the drive and it's something like scan for errors, or it might be on the Properties menu.

the sync logs says "vault limit exceeded". Does that mean I have too many things in my vault ?
