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 am having the same problem. I have a Truecrypt and over it has stopped syncing and the date doesnt change on the encrypted folder and online the version history doesnt record any new version unless I change the name of the file.
I will probably wait a couple of weeks but if not fixed change to another provider

I am also having the same problem. I've been using Truecrypt and Dropbox for years (and only on 1 PC), and Dropbox used to upload my changes automatically when I dismounted the Truecrypt volume at the end of a day's work.
But, for the last few days, it has either failed to recognise that there have been any changes, or, if it does recognise changes, it renames the up-to-date version on my hard drive as a conflicted version, then starts to download the old version to my hard drive, whilst uploading the "conflicted" version. And as both files are quite large, this takes several hours, and the upload speed slows right down to somewhere between 1 KB/sec and 100 KB/sec.
Hi JAS37,
Might be more easy, as an workaround, the content get be synced, not the container. :thinking:
This was NOT solved! All that does is cause Dropbox to sync the entire encrypted volume. It STILL is NOT doing a block-level sync.
I have contacted support twice but they wont look into it because we are using a third party program "Truecrupt" which in their security page suggest you can use. Given they are not going to look into it there wont be a solution and so we wont be able to use dropbox with encrypted folders.
Thanks GH74. It looks as if I will just have to find another cloud backup service!
