I have a Truecrypt volume that is backed up on Dropbox, and sometimes it gets out of sync, when changes are made on one machine but then the volume isn't closed before changes are made elsewhere. Then I have one file called, say, "archive.crypt" and "archive.crypt (username's conflicted copy 2020-02-22)".

Back in Truecrypt time I'd just open both volumes, which would then have the same name, say archive, and then use a utility like SyncTwoFolders to fix so they both contained the same content, and then close them both and delete the "conflicted copy". Done.

But with VeraCrypt, when I open a second encrypted volume which has the same name, it just writes over the existing one. That means there's no way to have them both open at the same time to sync.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? This is on a Mac, if it makes any difference.

Thanks
