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 .

You do not need to change anything in VeraCrypt or TruCrypt. The newest version of Dropbox is properly syncing just the changed blocks for those programs (as it used to do). The original problem that spawned this forum thread has been resolved in the newer versions of Dropbox.

Actually, 88.4.172 behaved the same way. I unticked the Veracrypt preserve modification timestamp option and it worked. Although after indexing it said it would take more than 2 days to upload, it finished in about minute, which was expected given the changes made in the volume.

1. I clearly addressed to Dropbox, not to you!
2. It is not about the original problem. The issue I am describing is referenced to the problem. AGAIN: It makes no sense to create a new thread and to re-discuss the topic, as Dropbox was made aware of it through this thread, this why it should stay open and I definitely will not create a unique thread for that!
3. You still don't get it right, deactivating the modification timestamp is not an option and NEVER WILL be, as dropbox previously was working fine with the option activated.
