Boxcryptor und FreeFileSync

synsync

Hallo,

wenn ich versuche Dateien mit einem Boxcryptor-Ordner per FreeFileSync zu synchronisieren, werden alle Dateien im Boxcryptor-Ordner als geändert erkannt, so dass FreeFileSync immer alles kopieren will. Dies ist unabhängig davon, ob ich beim Sync auf Dateidatum oder -inhalt vergleichen lasse. Sind hier zusätzliche Einstellungen in Boxcryptor notwendig, damit das funktioniert?

How do you sync? The encrypted folder or the container one?
I'm using FFS for keeping a local backup of both the encrypted and the container (in two different place) without any problems...
I'm using FFS with Mirror by "File time/size"

There is a difference doing a FFS sync (encrypted folder) on your own computer vs. a server (in my case Synology). When syncing to my own PC everything works fine and FFS only syncs the delta.

When I setup a server directory as a BoxCryptor location FFS is ALWAYS deleteing/copying the whole directory disregarding the delta.

Could it be that the NAS is setting the file data to the current time?
From FFS help file:
"Note
Most FTP drives set a file's time stamp to the current time when synchronizing ignoring the source file's time and date. As a workaround you can do a Compare by File Size."
Latest v6.8 has (finally) abandoned the "creation time hack" to handle DST and now you can set the delta by yourself. https://sourceforge.net/p/freefilesync/discussion/help/thread/33079e91/
Give it a try!

I'm pretty sure is something related to the destination time stamp, compare the fields manually to find out...
Here you are a "Synology" search on the FFS area, not to much entries...
