DrivePool "Bypass file system filters" & CloudDrive

[wid_sbdp]

Quick question... so CloudDrive with encryption enabled, is that included in the "types" of programs that can cause issues with "Bypass file system filters" checked, or is that not considered an issue because the two programs are kind of built to be compatible with each other?

 

Basically... checked or unchecked on a DrivePool if using it to pool encrypted CloudDrives.

Yes. 

 

Specifically, the encryption is done by the disk driver for the Clouddrive.  That means as the data is "written" to the disk, it's encrypted.  Even before it hits the cache. 

 

So you can toggle the "bypass file system filters" option all you want, it won't affect StableBit CloudDrive. 

 

 

 

If you want, Alex has a great write up of how the encryption works.
