I am using Cryptomator on Windows with Google Drive and in Linux (Debian) with Insync. GDrive and Insync are fully synchronized, so all the base encrypted data is identical.
When I move files on Windows, Cryptomator on Linux does no longer show the moved file but does also not show the file in the new location. It is gone (from view, not in GDrive).
If I change file names on Windows, Cryptomator on Linux does not show the file name change. It still shows the file under it’s old name.
First analysis: Changes to existing files and their organisation in the sync’d folders seems to be ignored in the Linux version of Cryptomator. While the files are there, their “meta” organization does not seem to be correctly sync’d.
And yes, I stopped, restarted, locked, unlocked Cryptomator.
First, for those of you who are reading this for the first time and don’t know what this synchronization software is here is an overview I collected from the internet.
The problem that you’re having is likely related to synchronization and the files in the vault being out of sync.
Synchronization software is very good when used without encryption software like cryptomator. Combining the two can be problematic.
Rather than synchronizing the vaults between the local PCS and the cloud I would suggest only keeping a copy of the vault in the cloud and mounting the Cloud Drive on each PC rather than synchronizing it to each PC.
I also have vaults installed on Google Drive but I don’t synchronize them I access them exclusively from the cloud.
