Daily use of securefs with Dropbox? about securefs HOT 8 CLOSED

@rprieto Yes. The directory file will change in both directories and the sync service won't be able to automatically resolve the difference.

As the author of this program I use it frequently with iCloud Drive. I have little experience with Dropbox, but it should work just the same.

thanks for the prompt reply.

Is it possible to mount a directory simultaneously from multiple hosts?

from securefs.

I don't understand what you mean by "multiple hosts". Can you clarify?

from securefs.

I would like to do the following:

• mount ~/Dropbox/encrypted on a mac at home and keep it mounted all the time
• mount ~/Dropbox/encrypted on a linux box at work, without unmounting it on the mac at home

Is it possible?

from securefs.

Sorry, it is not possible due to the fundamental design of securefs. You may try your luck with https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs.

Hi, can you clarify why it's not possible due to the design?
Is it because there's a risk of clash if both computers add a file to the same directory, for example?

A critical security vulnerability has been found in securefs version 0.4.0 to 0.6.0. If you have used these version to encrypt your data, please either migrate to the newest version or some other encryption software.
