Community / support / When encryption is enabled, the mounted drive doesn't show any files

Hi, I am wondering if thats the expected behavior, I use the flatpak version on Bazzite (a uBlue distro, so might have to do with that somehow). If encryption is on, the drive will mount but no files will show up, and if encryption is off everything shows up nicely. Also, is there a way for me to change the mount location ?

Hi, There are two issues which we aim to address. 1. If encryption is enabled then mount will only show the encrypted files. 2. If encryption is enabled with filename encryption disabled, then mount fails to decrypt the filename (because encryption wasn't used for the filename). Our solutions: Re 1. Instead of enabling encryption globally we will provide Vaults which will be able to enable encryption on per folder basis (including globally). Regardless, we will give consider modifying mount logic, so if filename decryption fails (e.g. it wasn't applied on that file -> assumed non-encrypted content) then it will display that file in the mount regardless. Re 2. We will correctly pass parameters to mount logic, so if filename encryption isn't enabled then it correctly display items. == Before these two are implemented my recommendation would be to not mix encrypted / unencrypted files within one bucket and keep filename encryption enabled. Bear in mind that if your preexisting files aren't encrypted they would require reuploading in order to get encrypted. Speaking of changing the mount location, I've added a feature request: https://s3drive.canny.io/feature-requests/p/support-custom-mount-location At the moment you can partially change mount location/folder by playing with the bucket alias name (in the Profiles), What's location you keep in mind and what setting would suit you best? a) Global mount path, which then would be parameterized (folder inside global mount path) based on the above bucket name / alias logic, b) Entirely custom path for every bucket configuration.

Thanks you!! I'll keep encryption off for now As for the mount location, probably whichever path I'd want, personally I'd make a S3 folder or smthng like that, and mount it there.
