Meaning, there is no way to ask Icedrive what options they use to encrypt files such I could go to settings into FreeFileSync and setup that encrypted option and FreeFileSynch would emulate the unencrypted files on my local drive just to do the comparison and report they are equal? I know this is a stretch but this would be much cleaner than what I proposed above. I would then click on that category to have them automatically removed as selected files for the synch (similar to when you click on a mismatched view and they are temporarily removed from the view but in this case they would be removed and not synched)? Obviously this is somewhat risky but it would help a lot.Īnother consideration, but given I know very little to nothing about encrypted file methodologies, I assume every encryption model is not unique and therefore there is no set value for increased files sizes which can be systematically calculated. FreeFileSynch would list the files under that category so I can select just that category of files and do a cursory check of the files to confirm they are reasonable mismatches given the setting parameter. For extra safety there could be a checkbox at the top of that pair where the user could indicate this pair (left pair as an example) has encrypted files which may be larger than the other pair (right pair). Obviously, because these files are dynamically changing every day with new content or updated content I am trying to avoid having to place the files in a Cryptomator vault where I would have to open the vault every day.Ĭan FreeFileSynch develop an option to determine if a file is encrypted in one of the pairs and have an option in settings similar to the time difference where I can set a value of an acceptable file size difference in the comparison and FreeFileSynch would categorize those files at the bottom of the screen as mismatches. I assume that is because when files are encrypted it stores some extra characters increasing the file size. When I run FreeFileSynch to compare my non-encrypted local files with the encrypted files in the encrypted folder on Icedrive I get lots of mismatches because the file length is different. However, I have a folder which has dynamic content (like all of my bills I paid in 20) and they are synched by the Icedrive desktop application into an encrypted folder on Icedrive. That works perfectly when I have FreeFileSynch to confirm my local Cryptomator encrypted files match the Cryptomator files stored in the cloud in Icedrive's non encrypted folder as they are exact matches. I only store files in the non-encrypted folder which are fairly static and they are encrypted using Cryptomator. They have the option for a user to store files either in an encrypted folder(s) or non-encrypted folder(s).
