Transfer of multiple files, BoxCryptor on Strato HiDrive

dahu

Hi,

when I transfer one or two files to my BoxCryptor container on a Strato HiDrive it takes a little bit of time, but the files were stored successfully.
But when I try to transfer more than two files or a complete folder I get the error message that the Finder was not able to complete the process because some files can not be read or written (error: -36)
original german text: "Der Finder konnte diesen Vorgang nicht abschließen, da einige Daten in ">hier steht der erste der zu übertragenden Dateinamen>" nicht gelesen oder geschrieben werden konnten. (Fehler: -36)"

My current environment:
Mac OSX 10.6.8
Strato HiDrive, connected via webdav
BoxCryptor 1.0.4(6), Unlimited Personal version

I have read in another thread (https://forums.boxcryptor.com/topic/can-not-use-encrypted-hidrive#post-504) that there was an issue about encrypted files on Strato HiDrive.
The solution in these thread was a new version of BoxCrypt for Windows.
Is there a new version for my Mac available as well to solve the problem?

Thanks and best regards,
dahu

Hi dahu,

try SMB. Though slow and imperfect it's still better than WebDAV.
\\USERNAME.smb.hidrive.strato.com\root\users\USERNAME
If it's about security (You don't need to worry as BC encrypts your stuff) you can open a openVPN connection to STRATO and do SMB through the VPN tunnel.

HTH, Joe

Hi Joe,

hmm, could be a solution, but ... I am using a Mac with OSX operating system, not a Windows PC. And as far as I know, SMB is a Windows protocol and not properly working on OSX. And the link you have posted is in a windows format :-(

Do you have an idea, how this could work on a Mac with OSX operating system?

Many thanks,
dahu

Good morning,

I was assuming, that the guys from the support are reading in this forum as well and that I get an answer from them to my topic if necessary.
Isn't that the case?

My Mac OS + Strato + VPN experience is still limited but the procedure as described here:

works well. In fact, until now, it's my impression that Mac OS + Strato + SMB / CIFS + VPN works somewhat better than Windows + Strato + SMB / CIFS + VPN.

Hi dahu,

We're reading (and posting) here as well of course, but the main purpose for the forums is for users to exchange knowledge/experiences... besides that it's pretty hard to post on every topic (and still keep up with the regular development work on BoxCryptor). If you really need help from us, submitting a ticket is the better choice because it's the better tool to handle support questions.

Best,
Robert

PS: We'll investigate your problem with WebDAV as soon as possible.
