Rsync into Cryptomator vault

This would be for Mint or Ubuntu. I’d like to have a source directory that is not encrypted, and rsync into a Cryptomator vault which is setup to sync with Dropbox.

Is that possible? If so, what issues have you run into? Any issues with corruption, incorrect file timestamps, etc? If anyone has done this, I’d be curious if you use parameters like “–inplace” or “–whole-file”.

I am doing it once a day, and it generally works well. Both the source and destination use the Ext4 filesystem. While there are some inflation warnings on the Cryptomator side, the files’ integrity is confirmed by matching MD5 checksums after copying. Everything remains readable and intact. No problems over a year with just rsync -a -v -P remote:/blab/la/ ~/path/to/vault.

Hi thanks for the reply.

Do you know if it’s supported to have the Cryptomator vault run on a NAS NFS share?

Also it looks like Dropbox can’t run on a NAS NFS share? Not sure what cloud sync options I have.

Flatpak/snap users have some troubles with mounts as i heard. AppImage works for me without issues. There are many NASes so not advice about it. I am using rclone mount for Dropbox, OneDrive and Google Drive - all works fine.
