Block-level sync for VeraCrypt not working post 83.4.152 update
Greetings all,
After DB auto-updated to 83.4.152, I noticed that the block-level syncing doesn't seem to be detecting changes anymore for my VeraCrypt container.
Before the update, everytime I di...
Hi all, we've brought this to our team and wanted to follow up.
While we've presented a workaround: either by turning off the "preserve file modification timestamps" setting in the application or naming the file with a ".tc" or ".hc" extension, we want to be transparent about our current priorities and unfortunately, this means that we won't be able to delve deeply into this in the near future.
We're still tracking these reports, and will make sure to inform you right away of any changes.
Thanks for understanding .
I have found a solution that works for Truecrypt and prob Veracrypt. On Truecrypt go to Settings\Preferences deselect "Preserve modification timestamp of file containers" and do this on all your machines. Now the whole folder will sync and the time stamp of the folder will update. It takes much longer however as it doesnt appear to be using the block level sync.
Hope it works for you as well.
As I posted in the official Stable Version Thread:
Block Level or Incremental Sync has stopped working with 83.4.152. I use EncFSMP, it encrypts only files and doesn't use containers. Now the whole Files are getting synced.
This is really annoying.
To proof that it doesn't be an issue with EncFSMP, I uploaded a 38mb not encrypted Excel File. It took me round about 3min. Than I modified only 2 Cells of that File. I had to wait again ~3min to sync this Excel File again. It was a full upload, not an incemental one.
Здравко I will try your suggestion. I was wondering how I could prevent dropbox from updating to the new version. But denying the write permission could be the trick.
Здравко I tried it, but it doesn't work as expected. Dropbox keeps quitting after some time and doesn't start again. In the dropbox installation folder appeared a new folder Client_83.4.152. For now I switched back to the actual version. But many thanks for your help.
