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 can confirm, I have also reported it, as I personally see this critical.

Might be more easy, as an workaround, the content get be synced, not the container. :thinking:
This is not even something like a workaround. If you have sensitive data in a container, you don't want to expose that directly to the cloud or whever those files are located. That is why people use containers.

Try using some earlier version you know work. :wink:
Hope this helps to some extent.
I did try version 82.3.133 with block-level syncing (the "Preserve" opiton of veracrypt) without success.

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...
This of course is something like a workaround, but it is against the concept of block-level-syncing.
What is really frustrating is the fact, that it took me days, not to say weeks, until I discovered that. So all data in the meantime gone. This must not happen to a solution like dropbox!
Jane Fiona : Please give us a statement on: Is it a bug or was the removal of the block-level-sync intended and what will be the next steps?
as I write in my intial post, I believe 81 was last working good, not 82.
when I install 81 it indeed starts syncing again the modified containers, however:
for a minute only, until the *#*! autupdater strikes again while it is syncing, updates to 84, which then starts producing conflicting copies, grrrrrrrr
