Hide encrypted files/folders from Explorer in physical, but not in virtual drive

Erwin

Hi,

I have some encrypted directories in my OneDrive directory hierarchy (which show up with these Fancy Asian symbols) and I want to hide these from the Windows Explorer. When I set the top-level directory to "hidden", this is unfortunately replicated to the virtual FS and the (there unencryted) directory gets hidden as well. Although this is very likely "works as designed", in this specific case I don't like it: I would like to hide the directory in the physical volume, but not in the virtual volume.

Anything possible here?

Cheers,
Erwin

Hi Erwin,

as the virtual Boxcryptor drive merely mirrors the set locations this would be a system issue. Unfortunately, there is nothing our developers may do on this matter.

I'd suggest to contact your Microsoft support asking them for a feature to hide files but not hide them for special third party programs.
Thanks for your understanding.

All the best and kind regards,
Richard

Hi Richard,

thanks for the speedy response. As I understand how Boxcryptor works you are utilising a 3rd party product from Callback Technologies to map the physical to the virtual drives. As such I don't think that this is a Microsoft issue -- correct me if I'm wrong.

Cheers,
Erwin
