Troubleshooting

Hi,

I have old truecrypt container (5mb aes-twofish-serpent) in dropbox storage. When i change files inside and dismount container no sync reaction. Test on another container with same effect. When i check this test with dropbox utility all work fine.

sorry if repeat.

Hi,
I don’t understand the steps you are using. Can you provide some additional details on the steps you are taking, what you are seeing, and what you expect?

Thanks!

Hi,

create empty volume container (1mb, aes-twofish-serpent) and copy it to destination folder. It’s new file so odrive upload it.

dir /TC F:\odrive\dropbox\test\test.storage -> 02.08.2016 19:57 1 048 576 test.storage
dir /TA F:\odrive\dropbox\test\test.storage -> 02.08.2016 19:57 1 048 576 test.storage
dir /TW F:\odrive\dropbox\test\test.storage -> 02.08.2016 19:57 1 048 576 test.storage
CertUtil -hashfile F:\odrive\dropbox\test\test.storage MD5 -> 7c 4f 06 4d b9 33 64 7e 6a 8a ec 05 7b de a2 ff

then mount it, create random text file inside and dismount.
dir /TC F:\odrive\dropbox\test\test.storage -> 02.08.2016 19:57 1 048 576 test.storage
dir /TA F:\odrive\dropbox\test\test.storage -> 02.08.2016 19:57 1 048 576 test.storage
dir /TW F:\odrive\dropbox\test\test.storage -> 02.08.2016 19:57 1 048 576 test.storage
CertUtil -hashfile F:\odrive\dropbox\test\test.storage MD5 -> 18 d1 7d 6e 88 97 aa da 34 97 19 9e dc b5 ff e1

Last modified and accessed date not changes.
I wait some time and then use sync button from context menu. odrive not sync changes. I unsync and sync folder. base empty container was download so changes was erased.

Does the size of the container change when you add a file to it, or is the container a static size? If the size is not changing and the dates are not changing, it will not be picked up as a change.

Size of container is fixed. After decryption it mounts like virtual fat disk volume and you can operate with it like ordinary disk. For example create or modify files inside it. Data changes because i’m test it after cycle of remount. and the difference in the md5 checksum is confirms it.

Try changing the modified date on the file after editing it. It will be picked up and synced. Something like:

powershell -command "&{$fpath=\"F:\odrive\dropbox\test\test.storage\"; (ls \"$fpath\").LastWriteTime = Get-Date}"
