Hi, @great_shawk

The raidrive option is a free option from a company that sells the software so you can use this entirely for free and not be breaking any licenses or needing to buy anything so no worries there. They make you pay for options that are in addition to what you get for free from them and they give you Mega access for free so no worries.

Rcloneview at least for now is entirely free. I don’t know what the company will do after they exit beta. Right now there is no charge and there is no option to buy anything on their website. They are simply an Rclone GUI.
Rclone can be used by itself as a command line app downloading it directly from the developers website and that is as I’m sure you know from using it on Linux is free open source software. If you would like a graphical user interface for Rclone on Windows there is a program on GitHub called Rclone Browser and it’s no longer in production but it works and it’s free open source software. It’s also included in many distro repositories including Ubuntu and mint for example.
I don’t use the mega client to synchronize my cryptomator vault between my PC and the cloud so I never see these errors. They are generated by the synchronization program for Windows I believe.
I keep my Vault exclusively in the cloud on the mega server so yes you are correct I do not have offline no internet access to my data. This has yet to present a situation that bothers me in any way because I don’t use my computers if I’m not connected to the net and my phone is always connected to the net and just as yours is. You can access any of your files anytime you want to on your phone if you want a particular file offline you simply download it to your phone.
RSAF will give you access to everything on your mega Cloud Drive directly that is not inside a vault. Just run the program and choose your remote and tell it you want to open it in the very first option at the top and choose the Google files app to view your files on the Cloud Server and you’ll see everything including the files that are encrypted by cryptomator.
On Windows I run Rclone as a service so when Windows boots it automatically mounts my drives without me having to do anything. There are instructions for doing this using a free tool in the rclone docs. I can point them to you if need be.
Let me know if you have any other questions. My goal is to make sure that anyone who wants to take advantage of RSAF which is a program that is open source and uses the open source Rclone software.
On another note there is a separate application on GitHub that you might find interesting it’s also on fdroid for download. It’s called Roundsync.
Roundsync is exclusively for Android and is a fancy implementation of Rclone for Android and gives you the ability to not only mount a remote but to create tasks that will copy and synchronize files between your cell phone and any one of the supported Cloud providers. I use it to backup my text messaging files to an SFTP server on a daily basis for example it can be done automatically at a set time every day.
Happy hunting and let me know if you have any other bumps that you run into.
No, don’t have any synchronization issues to report using this configuration.
Everything that I use here and am recommending is either a free option from a company or completely open source.
If you would like your vault available offline on your PC you can do that if you synchronize it down using Rclone rather than using the mega client which is what is detecting those files as malware.
Considering you are a paid customer of Mega I would consider the option of submitting a technical support request letting them know that what they’re detecting is a false positive which is true. Perhaps there is a bug in there client sync software they can fix.
