CryptSync is a small utility that synchronizes two folders while encrypting the contents in one folder. That means one of the two folders has all files unencrypted (the files you work with) and the other folder has all the files encrypted.

Hi, first, let me thank you for this app and your effort, it looks great I'm trying to evaluate the app to sync an encrypted copy to my onedrive, i couldn't update the password effectivally, after changing it the files aren't getting re encrypted, is that who it is supposed to work? do i need to delete the pair and recreate using a new password ?

thanks

stop CryptSync (if running in the background), then delete all the encrypted files. Then start CryptSync again. That will re-encrypt all files again with the new password.

It doesn't do this automatically because the files themselves did not change, only your password.
