Block-level sync for VeraCrypt not working post 83.4.152 update
Greetings all,
After DB auto-updated to 83.4.152, I noticed that the block-level syncing doesn't seem to be detecting changes anymore for my VeraCrypt container.
Before the update, everytime I di...
Hi all, we've brought this to our team and wanted to follow up.
While we've presented a workaround: either by turning off the "preserve file modification timestamps" setting in the application or naming the file with a ".tc" or ".hc" extension, we want to be transparent about our current priorities and unfortunately, this means that we won't be able to delve deeply into this in the near future.
We're still tracking these reports, and will make sure to inform you right away of any changes.
Thanks for understanding .
Solution is very simple. Go to settings in truecrypt/ veracrypt , in preferences window, uncheck preserve modification timestamp of file container. so that file will note modification date and time and sync in dropbox.

I agree When synchronization begins Dropbox calculates the time it will take. In principle it informs hours, but quickly synchronizes within 15 seconds at the latest 2 GB and obviously only synchronizes the differences. Same behavior in three different notebooks and I have verified that the synchronization is correct. It was a surprise to find this result.
I agree that Dropbox should find a definitive solution, without having to modify third-party SW settings. Simply my comment points to the fact that the workaround works.santhosh1000 Still not sure you got the point. Again: Removing the option in veracrypt is not an option. I have an 8gb file, that take of course takes WAY LONGER to sync than it would, if it would only sync the differences. Removing the option in veracrypt is not more than a workaround, but not an acceptable solution.
You do not need to change anything in VeraCrypt or TruCrypt. The newest version of Dropbox is properly syncing just the changed blocks for those programs (as it used to do). The original problem that spawned this forum thread has been resolved in the newer versions of Dropbox.
