Syncing uncorrectly / several times upon eachother #130

Hello ya'all,

I will try to describe the problem with CryptSync the best I can. The problem 
occurred the first time yesterday when I wanted to add another folder to be 
synced with and encrypted to my online storage. Then I saw that the syncing 
pair that were supposed to already be in CryptSync had disappearred so I had to 
make a new syncing pair for both this and my new pair. When I did that I 
noticed that my online storage said that it would sync about about 5 GB of 
files, but that made me suspicious because I already had several folders synced 
by CryptSync in my online storage. Then I saw that CryptSync was syncing the 
folders in my online storage one more time, just one folder higher (i.e. 
storage\folder1 instead of storage\folder1\folder2), which was not what was 
meant to be. Okay. So I deleted the folders it had already synced because I 
meant that it was a mistake, but it continued to sync in the folder one layer 
higher than what was meant. I then deleted the syncing pair and started over, 
but the same happened again. But why? I have no idea. It had worked perfectly 
until CryptSync decided to delete the pair itself and afterwards, it just 
stopped working properly.

So to summarize: CryptSync encrypts the folder, I specified it to encrypt and 
sync in my online storage but one folder higher than what was expected, which 
is quite annoying... Even though there is already the encrypted folder in my 
online storage, so I would just expect it so watch and sync what was missing in 
that folder, but no. It decided to sync a layer higher and start over, so I 
ended up having two of the same folders with the same files and everything, 
just 'one above the other'.

If you have any comments/advice to my problem, please write. Though, I have not 
tried to reinstall CryptSync, but I will do that now and see if it works. I 
will write again.

I am using Windows 7 and OneDrive, btw.

Best regards,
CryptSync user
