boxcryptor fail to update content given google drive stream updated the encrypted version.

Hi,
I am testing with free version.

devices using win10 64bit, also android 10

cloud using google drive suite
on win10, google drive accessed with google file stream
on android, files edited thru boxcryptor + app.

when I modify a .txt file in android e.g. using "quickedit" app,
the modified time is say 1540.
I saw it almost immediately sync-ed to google drive.
when I browse google drive, it shows the .txt.bc file to be 1540, correct.
(i.e. google drive client did their job correctly, to update the .txt.bc file)

but when I open the .txt inside boxcryptor, even the .txt shows 1540 timestamp,
the content is from previous one say 1450.
(so this shows it's boxcryptor client that's not working correctly)

This doesn't happen with a .doc file edit on android using the "office" app.

thank you.

the problem is easily reproduceable for me, making boxcryptor useless.
btw, it's working well if the editing is made from windows machine.

    Hi ccchan,

    do you see the old content in the preview when you exit out of quickedit?
    The new content of the file is uploaded to Google Drive in the background
    and you should see the new version when you exit out of the preview and open it again.

    Best Regards,
    Roman
