Questions about file synchronisation for PC and Mac

If you experience that certain files or folders in your local folder aren't being synced to your SecureSafe, it may be because of one of the following issues:

You may have used an incompatible character in the files or folder name(s). Check to see if any of the following characters are used in a file or folder name and rename them if so:

  • / (forward slash)
  • \ (backslash)
  • < (less than)
  • > (greater than)
  • : (colon)
  • " (double quote)
  • | (vertical bar or pipe)
  • ? (question mark)
  • * (asterisk)
  • dot at the end of the filename (.)

Also note, that the following file types are ignored by the SecureSafe Client meaning they will not be synced to your SecureSafe:

  • name begins with or ends with an empty space or tab
  • empty files (size 0 bytes)
  • folders and files with names that contain more than 128 characters
  • desktop.ini
  • thumbs.db
  • Thumbs.db
  • .ds_store
  • .thumbnails
  • .Temporary Items
  • .Trashes
  • .DS_Store
  • .Document Revisions-V100
  • .fseventd
  • .apdisk
  • .svn
  • .htaccess
  • .securesafe.*
  • .*conflicted copy.*

Furthermore, if you exceed the storage limit for your SecureSafe, all files you add to your local SecureSafe folder after this point will not be uploaded to your safe.

When two people work on the same file at the same time, it is not possible to determine, which version is more current. To make sure no edits are lost, the SecureSafe desktop app will save both versions, but only sync one. The other version will be marked with a name, time stamp and the extension “conflicted copy”. It will only be saved locally on the computer of the person responsible for creating it. This means that if a file with the name extension “conflicted copy” appears on your computer, you are responsible for merging the two files. Alternatively, you can rename your file and it will be synced normally.

A conflicted copy is created if:

  • two people work on the same document simultaneously.
  • two people create a file with the same name in the same folder.
  • someone leaves a document open in a program with autosave on and another person starts working on it.

The best way to prevent conflicted copies is to create a “Currently under edit” folder. Before you start working on any document:

  1. Sync all files to check that no one else is working on the document.
  2. Move it to the “Currently under edit” folder.
  3. Sync this change so your team members know someone is working on the document.
  4. Edit the document as wished.
  5. Once done, move it back to its original folder and sync all changes.

Here is how to install SecureSafe on a Mac running on the latest Apple Silicon M1 chip.

In November 2020, Apple introduced the new M1 Chip architecture, in which apps that rely on virtualization cannot be run. The SecureSafe Desktop App runs a virtual File System when in encrypted mode. Another prominent example of an app that uses a virtual File System is Parallels Desktop.

This is the reason SecureSafe uses FUSE, which is a system extension developed by a third-party developer named Benjamin Fleischer. There is still a bug, however, yet to be fixed by Apple, which can prevent the execution of third-party kernel extensions. Based on information provided by FUSE developer Benjamin Fleischer, this should change in the future. In the meantime, for those who run an M1 Mac, we have explained the workaround below. Follow these instructions and you will have no trouble using your favorite App on an M1 Mac.






Step 1: Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy.


Go to System Preferences, Security and Privacy ​




Step 2: Click the padlock icon to make changes.Hit the “Enable System extension” button.


Click the padlock icon to make changes, hit the Enable System extension button ​




Step 3: Click on the shutdown button to restart your mac.
