Discrepancy in missing files between Ankidroid and Anki desktop

Pictures attached
Anki desktop: 25.05b2
Ankidroid: 2.21apha15 (same number given on s22 ultra and redmi note 10 pro)


Already tried force sync but it does not resolve the issue

Forcing a one-way sync does not affect media sync, so there’s no need for that. You have 18 GBs of media in your AnkiWeb account. It’s going to take some time and several tries for all of that to finish syncing to your Android device (and hopefully you have the space for that). Media files may take time to sync - Anki FAQs

As you can see in your desktop Check Media – you’ve got one file that won’t ever sync, so you might want to do something about that too.

I have been using Ankidroid on this phone for quite a few years and have synced many times. I rarely check media on phone but this time I did and the missing files came up.
I think there should be a force sync media option as well where it verifies files present on ankiweb and local storage, skip files that are present/common and sync the absent ones.

You can force it, just not with a one-way sync. If you log out of sync in your Settings/Preferences, and then click sync to log in again, your media will be rescanned. Then, keep syncing until your Check Media results match.
