Is my crypt remote really encrypted?

Help and Support

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

v1.57.0

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Google Drive

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[gdrive]
type = drive
client_id = [redacted]
client_secret = [redacted]
scope = drive
token = [redacted]
team_drive = 

[Crypt_Disk]
type = crypt
remote = gdrive:/crypt
password = [redacted]
password2 = [redacted]

When setting up my crypt remote, I choose:

/ Encrypt the filenames.
1 | See the docs for the details.
\ "standard"

1 / Encrypt directory names.
\ "true"

Next, I set a password as well as a salt password.

It is my understanding that my config file should contain the following values:

filename_encryption = standard
directory_name_encryption = true

However, my config file does not contain the above values. Should it? I'm worried that my crypt is not encrypted.

hi,

filename_encryption = standard
directory_name_encryption = true

the reason that those two lines are not in the config file, is that they are default values.
rclone does not add default values for flags into the config file.

the easiest way to tell is to look at the dir/file names.
rclone ls gdrive:crypt and the output should look like

rclone ls gdrive:crypt

That works! Thank you!

Not sure why you didn't just continue your original thread for this, but it sounds like you changed it successfully from obfuscated to encrypted. My config file was created back in 2017, so it's entirely possible that those two lines simply don't show in newer ones.
