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 .
Thank you for fixing the originally reported issue. I have tested Dropbox version 86 and it is NOW correctly syncing the VeraCrypt and TruCrypt files that were not working at time of reporting.
[The original request required Dropbox to notice when VeraCrypt and/or TruCrypt applications dismounted the volume file (even though the date didn't change) as that was the trigger to cause the block-level differential syncing.].
We appreciate the developer effort to get this fix done, and I'm glad to report it appears to be working correctly.
It appears that some new posters would like an additional functionality added to do block-level detection/syncing on other file extensions. I recommend this thread be closed and a new thread started if they seriously want developers to consider the new requests.
Hi asimpson417,
Great, your issue gets resolved! :wink:
BUT, that's not solution, but a workaround! So, final solution is still going prepared (let's hope). As you refer "posters would like an additional functionality" is not actually true. It's the same issue! What is the file type matter (encrypted or not)? :thinking:
