This is an issue which haunts us on Android for quite a while. Sometimes restarting app / reconnecting WiFi and trying two, three times help. We'll be aiming to have it addressed completely over the next couple releases. The alternative way to set it up, is to use S3Drive on other than Android platform, configure it and then copy config to Android using: "Show .ini config" and then pasting it in: "Custom provider" window. Please find screenshots attached, please start from right as this is the order Discord uploaded it.

These are two different account profiles. They point to same underlying Google account, but one runs with crypt overlay and one without. Unencrypted files won't be visible in crypt as once enabled it considers unencrypted files incorrect. On the other hand, when you upload files to crypt, they will be visible under regular account, but filenames will look similarly to this: c29tZXRoaW5nbGtl. It's recommended to not mix unencrypted and encrypted files under one directory. It is possible to enable crypt only as a subfolder/vault. That would require changing crypt configuration, but that's easy. You could use Show .ini config to display crypt version. In your case it would look similarly to this: [crypt_drive_xe76] directory_name_encryption = true filename_encoding = base64 filename_encryption = standard password = uFYfPzD9vTxs1NdA65mmHORpSfnqOg remote = drive_xe76: suffix = none type = crypt You can then change line: remote = drive_xe76: to remote = drive_xe76:encryptedFolder and reimport it all back using Custom Provider button like this: [crypt_drive_xe76] directory_name_encryption = true filename_encoding = base64 filename_encryption = standard password = uFYfPzD9vTxs1NdA65mmHORpSfnqOg remote = drive_xe76:encryptedFolder suffix = none type = crypt Please note that your password field will be different (don't disclose that to anyone). That would allow you using drive_xe76 as it is (unencrypted), but when you use crypt_drive_xe76 it would write encrypted data to folder named: encryptedFolder (edited)
