Crypted folder & fail-safe file copy

I am syncing files into a crypted dropbox folder.
I use Boxcryptor - but I guess that this does not matter.

By default "Fail-safe file copy" is checked (and recommended).

From time to time I get a message that the temp file "*.*.ffs_tmp" cannot be moved to "*.*"
This happens to normal files but also to the database itself (*.ffs_db)
So the direction of syncing does not matter.

Is there a way to set an automatic retry or to increase the number of tries? (globally or by job)

Yes, it is in the settings

You mean the "Automatic retry" checkbox?
But it is on the "Comparison" tab - not on the "Synchronisation" one.

I see what you are saying... I've never considered that, but I believe that setting applies to both compare and sync. I guess Zenju would have to chime in or just try it and report back!

Yes, the auto-retry setting covers both comparison and sync.

It works.
Thanks to clarify that it covers both.
