Cryptomator on my mac is not possible to copy folder including subfolder

Hi there,

unfortunately my cryptomator does creat an unknown error when copying a folder including subfolder to the cryptomator drive. There will be created an empty folder and there is error. I am using fuse.

how can I solve this issue?

Hi rationalchoice,

i had the same issue, when I initially was loading my Crytomator Vault with data. The “file is locked” or “you are not allowed to operate..” error message drove me crazy.

I could fix it with using the normal copy and paste function from macOS.

Instead i used the opensource software FreeFileSync. I installed the software mainly for the compare function. But i quickly found out, that it can not only compare but also copy and compare whole structures. I used the mirror function to move stuff from my source folders (cloud) into the vault - i move about 20.000 files - no error. I made sure that my files where available offline before.

For the inital vault load that was feasable. But i hope i dont run into the same issue again, for daily copy & paste tasks. Because the “FreeFileSync” tool is a GUI nightmare.

Cheers
