| | Sync with an encrypted virtual drive I use FS to sync files on my notebook to a desktop. For security purposes, my notebook has sensitive documents contained in a encrypted file which Win XP sees as a virtual drive. All software can read and write to this virtual drive as if it was a real physical drive. However, FS does not see this virtual drive. Is there a way to make FS see this virtual drive? If the current build does not support this feature, is it something that will be addressed in a future build? |

| | RE: Sync with an encrypted virtual drive I had kind of a reverse issue. I wanted to put the FS files on a removable SD card (because I have no space on my main hard drive), but FS doesn't recognize it. So, I used TrueCrypt (free download), which reformats and encrypts the SD card, which you can then mount as a regular hard drive which FS can see.
