Sync Filen <-> encrypted storage

I have ~100GB of data stored in Filen and currently sync from cloud to local where the local data is on an encrypted harddrive. The Filen Desktop Client is also installed on that encrypted harddrive. I want to switch to a two way sync. The data in the cloud and locally is 100% identical due to the cloud --> local sync and no changes locally from my side.

Now to my issue: Whenever I switch to two way sync, obviously Filen is calculating the delta. As the datasets are identical, there should be none. Nevertheless Filen wants to upload all local data to filen. I checked with a smaller folder and apparently it also downloads all data again afterwards.

Am I doing something wrong or do I simply not understand how the two way sync should work?

I cancelled the upload for now as I am not sure if it can screw up any data.
