Copying JPG or TIF files to virtual drive - Warning - files will lose properties (NTFS to FAT32?)

mattj88

When I copy files from my hard drive to the new Boxcryptor vitual drive, Windows warns that the files will lose properties if I continue and copy the files to the new virtual drive location to be encrypted. I have windows 7 and the original C drive location is NTFS. Appears that virtual drive is labeled as FAT32. Could this be the issue for the warning? Files vary in size and are not within maximum file limitations.

hey mattj88,

I never got this message displayed, could you please tell me which system/program you're using?

Thank you!

Don't know if it's the same message, but I suspect it's got to do with NTFS alternate data streams a program might use. Got a data stream warning a few weeks ago when trying to copy a file.
But this is a known FAT32 limitation.

Question to the developers is generally if the underlyning CBFS offers NTFS for the virtual FS as well and - if so - if it would still be compatible with fuse.

I got the same message. I am using Windows 7 HP/8 Pro and Windows Home Server. So I have got a complete NTFS environment with user privileges. FAT32 does not support this and if i copy files from my server to the BoxCryptor drive, I got this message. I think that because I lose the security attributes. In this case it does not matter because I also do not have it in the Dropbox which I use.
