Hello,
I’d like to report a bug or improvement concerning folder synchronization:
1 - I have an ENCRYPTED synchronization for a parent folder
2 - I want to synchronize a sub-folder in a NON ENCRYPTED way
3 - I get a message displaying This local folder is s subfolder of an existing synchronized folder
It is impossible to create a parallel Encrypted / Non-encrypted synchronization (which was the case with previous versions of the app)
Thank you support team!
Hi @fredx
Syncing a subfolder of an already synchronized folder is not supported.
This is because the subfolder would be monitored twice by two separate watcher processes, which could lead to conflicts. For instance, modifying a file could result in it being uploaded twice—to both the encrypted and non-encrypted areas. To prevent duplication and ensure a streamlined process, we do not allow such configurations within the sync setup.
Hi @Tom,
thank you for your message. I understand the technical issue you mentioned.
To let us have some sync feature system, could we imagine a DISTANT SERVER SYNC ?
Sync a DISTANT ENCRYPTED folder < > DISTANT NON-ENCRYTED folder.
I can use rclone or other software to syncronize but I don’t wanna have limitation from Icedrive and use the native app to do this.
Thank you.
