BoxCryptor 1.3 and KeePass

MichelR

Hi,

I've been using BoxCryptor and KeePass together for a while without any issues. I just installed v1.3 and now when KeePass saves changes to its database, I get this error:

"The new file's content does not match the data that KeePass has written, i.e. writing to the file has failed and it might be corrupted now."

The file does appear to be fine. Just in case, I tried to create a new, blank database and I got the same error as soon as it tried to create it on the BoxCryptor drive. I was using KeePass 2.16, but upgraded to 2.18 just in case - same result. I also tried to just save copies of the file to the BoxCryptor drive, and I get the same error, so it's not just when making a change to an existing database. No error if I save elsewhere, including a TrueCrypt container, so this does seem to be an issue with BoxCryptor. I noticed that Dokan is out of the picture with this new version, maybe that has something to do with it? (and yes, I did let it remove Dokan during installation).

Any idea?

Thanks,
Michel

Any progress on this issue? I'm getting the same error message when using BoxCryptor 1.3 and KeePass 2.18.

Thanks,

I've been getting the same error/issue. Any updates on this?

Uncheck:

'Tools' -> 'Options' -> tab 'Advanced' -> 'Use file transactions for writing databases'.

an this error is gone.

We have been able to locate the cause for this problem with KeePass and the next version will contain a fix for it. Until then, you can use the quick fix posted by hSWVoC. Thanx for that!

@Robert

can you also check your fix using YNAB3 http://www.youneedabudget.com by having in [ Preferences Automatically save a backup of my file everytime i save ] checked.

i get a problem that it cannot make the backup in boxcryptor folder, i feel this is a related case.

Robert

In a first try, YNAB v3.6.3 worked without any problem and I could not reproduce your problem. What kind of error message do you receive? Can you please try BoxCryptor in debug mode (BoxCryptor.exe /debug) and submit a ticket in our helpdesk with the BoxCryptor.log file created on your Desktop?
