Is Filen still being developed? Their Android app has not been updated in about 8 months. Just checking before I commit.

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.

Hi team/community, I missed out on the previous lifetime storage offers. Does Filen have any plans to bring these back anytime soon? Thanks!

Hello,

What's your opinion: is it safe enough to just have a Local to cloud backup or a local backup, that saves everything you put, even if you delete it on your PC? It seems redudant to me as an option.

Thanks!
