I downloaded Karen's Replicator and used it but I then started to receive Spam popups trying to get me to buy stuff. Got rid of that. I then downloaded Syncredible. Very nice. Easy to understand and works well. Thanks for the tip Peregrine

Not sure what is going on with that. I have been using it on this computer (Win 7) for years, and recently began using it on another computer (Win 11), and neither get popups.

Where did you down load it from?

I have a question. I am using Cryptomator to encrypt files. I can manually copy a folder into a Cryptomator vault after I've unlocked the vault but I find when using Syncredible that it doesn't "see" my Cryptomator vault in the list of choices to sync to. Someone on the Cryptomator forum said they use this program to do that. If anyone has any insight about whether I am doing it wrong, or ideas, or how these two programs might be different, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

I don't have direct knowledge of the programs in question, but I have done some work in protocols that might shed some light. Maybe something I say can be useful to someone who knows more about Syncredible.

From the Cryptomator page, this may be relevant:
Quote:
Client-side: No accounts, no data shared with any online service
...
...
File names get encrypted
Folder structure gets obfuscated
This means, if Syncredible tries to directly access the data, while it is still in the cloud, the data will still be encrypted (and folders "obfuscated,") even though the vault is unlocked.

Cryptomator is transferring the data to the local machine before decrypting it for most normal applications.

The question could be:
Is Syncredible bypassing explorer? ... and therefore bypassing that "normal" level of access.

You're welcome! I like it so much I actually bought a copy. Even used the free version at work a few times.

Thanks for the comments. This is something I will just need to play around with more.
