hi,
i am using nextcloud via hosting through owncube. Most of it is working out well. However, for some reason I cannot encrypt folders via the desktop client (mac), it always gives me the following message: “please wait for the folder to sync before trying to encrypt it”. I am not really sure what the problem is. On the iPad app the encrytion is working fine and it is showing it on the desktop client as well.
and then I have a general question: Assuming my ipad is stolen and the thief deletes all of the folders from the app. Then all of the folders will be deleted on my desktop as well I guess. Is there any safe way to work around this?
Do you mean end-to-end encryption? Do you use the test version of the desktop client with this feature?
That is the backside of a sync solution. If these are only a couple of files, you can probably restore them from the trash bin. But to be sure you must have a recent backup of your setup.
yea, i guess it is always important to have a physical backup.
Yes, i mean E2E Encryption. On the first installation it worked but then some problems came up. I deinstalled and then reinstalled twice. I cant choose Encryption in my desktop version (mac) for some reason. However, on my iPad I can make folders encrypted and they are shown as encrypted then on the desktop client.
