#125 QUESTION: Should CryptSync work between more than one computer + cloud storage?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. In computer #1, Create folder pair for A and A.encrypted where the latter is in Google Drive or DropBox
2. In Computer #2, Create folder pair with the same settings as in #1
3. Enjoy Cryptsync constantly resyncing the same files from one computer to another (via cloud storafe)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- I expect CrytpSync to figure out that the all files are not going to be constantly resynced, but that only changes would go to both directions

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- Win8 64bit, Google Drive, CrytpSync 1.2.264 (64bit)

Please provide any additional information below.
- I am bit uncertain should the program even work this way or does it work only with one computer + cloud
- Part of the problem might be that Crytp Sync did not figure out, that the folders were in sync already, but maybe I should have started from empty "A" (decrypted) folder in Computer #2 and do some "mirror only" (to not to get the Google Drive A.encrypted folder deleted in the process.
- If I made a mistake in setting up the computer #2, maybe CrytpSync could have some "wizard" to hand-held the user through the process

Great project! Thumbs up.

Try the option "FAT filesystem workaround" in the sync pairs.
