Subdirectories?

akoerber

Hello,
I use Boxcyrptor on Android and Windows.
I had set up 2 Boxcryptor-Instances linking to different directories with different filenames using the /root /multiple /mountpoint options:

c:\programme\boxcryptor\boxcryptor.exe /multi /root d:\[path to the directory] /mountpoint j: /label [LABEL]

I have now received an invitation to an encrypted shared dropbox directory. So I set up another boxcryptor instance using the same options and syntax.

Outside boxcryptor's drived efined with /mountpoint, i.e.in the directory given in the path, I see the encrypted directory containing files and subdirectories with ancrypted files (names also encrypted).

However, other than in my first two instances, I don't see any content in the new directory apart from the one I put in there myself. Especially, I don't see the subdirectories.

I know that the other files and the subdirectories have been put into the dropbox from a LINUX system. Still, I do see them, and Boxcryptor accepts the password.

So why don't I see the subdirectories?

Thanks in advance
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

was the encrypted folder (including the .encfs6.xml configuration file) fully synced before you tried to open it in BoxCryptor?

Your problem description sounds as if you're using a different .encfs6.xml configuration file than the creator of the encrypted folder, e.g. because the file was not yet synced and BoxCryptor created a new one or because the creator stored the configuration file in a different location. I'd recommend to check the contents of your .encfs6.xml file and the one of the creator. You can find more information in our Knowledge Base:
