When upload a file named Special characters to crypt, the file name appears blank on the Windows rclone mount drive

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

When upload a file named'： ｜.txt ' to crypt, the file name appears blank on the Windows rclone mount drive.
：(U+FF1A),｜(U+FF5C)
upload it to a regular remote other than crypt, it will be displayed properly.
And the "rclone ls" displays both correctly.

Windows File Explorer

"winfsp-2.0.23075.msi" is installed.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

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

Google Drive

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone copy "D:\test" "crypt:"

mount crypt: I: --cache-dir "C:\rclone-cache" --config "C:\Users\account\AppData\Roaming\rclone\rclone.conf" --network-mode --poll-interval 15s --vfs-read-chunk-size 32M --vfs-read-ahead 32M --vfs-write-back 5s --bwlimit-file 32M --buffer-size 32M --vfs-cache-mode full --vfs-cache-max-size 100G --vfs-cache-poll-interval 5m --vfs-cache-max-age 5000h --dir-cache-time 5m --timeout 1h --log-level INFO --log-file="C:\rclone\log.log"

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

Workaround - create in your rclone.config following section:

[local]
type = local
encoding = Slash,LtGt,DoubleQuote,Question,Asterisk,BackSlash,Ctl,RightSpace,RightPeriod,InvalidUtf8,Dot

You will have to re-upload your file again.

@ncw this is interesting case IMO. I think when crypt + mount is used there is an issue and encoding is not applied.

I have tested it myself and indeed this is the case. When I rclone copy file named "： ｜.txt " to crypt remote it is stored as ":|.txt" and correctly displayed as "： ｜.txt " running rclone ls.

But when mounted characters are corrupted. I guess no rclone encoding is applied and WinFS does its own things.

It works fine. I've encoded it in flag format, but I've learned to put it local. Thank you.
