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 dismount my VC encrypted container, DB will index the file and compare the deltas at the block-level -- syncing the block-level changes. However, after the 152 update, I've noticed that even with lots of changes in the VC container, after I dismount, DB detects no changes to the encrypted file. I end up having a bunch of conflicts when trying to sync between machines via the "rename the file and rename it back" approach.
Could someone share resolution or your similar experiences if you're also using encrypted containers with DB?
Thanks,
BPH

Hey there,
I have a similar problem. Dropbox updated on 17th october to the new version 83.4.152. Since then the uploads seem to take much much longer for large files (~600MB). Is incremental sync not working anymore? Bevor this version I had upload times around 15 sec till 1 minute. Now it takes 25 min till 45 min.
It seems there has been a negative change.
Like bph2019 I also use an encrypted container (but EncFSMP not Veracrypt).
Greetings
