@Zero3 -- is this a clean installation of encfs and Dokany? I've tested this out on various platforms and do not seem to experience this issue. I would recommend completely uninstalling both Dokany and encfs, restarting, and installing encfs RC8 fresh.

[Zero3]

@jetwhiz Yup, clean install. I will try reinstalling and testing again.

I did create (with encfs) and delete (with explorer) the enc and dec folders several times because of #52 though, so maybe this was caused by some stale state in encfs/Dokany/Windows or something like that?

[jetwhiz]

@Zero3 -- that could be what's causing it -- can you try this again after testing the patch for issue #52?

I just follow @Zero3's steps. same issue on me. It reports no permission.
Moreover, I can create new text file in the volume by right click the mouse. while if you open it for edit. it reports file can not be found.

@gzl6 -- You experience these issues when you mount to a drive letter? e.g.,

encfs   D:\Enc   Z:

Also, this is with the latest version of encfs4win (1.10.1-RC8)?

@gzl6 -- You experience these issues when you mount to a drive letter? e.g.,

Mount to a driver root has no issues.
I just follow @Zero3 steps to mount on folder found the problem.
And it is strange why mount to a folder need to create it first. It should be virtual folder.

Also, this is with the latest version of encfs4win (1.10.1-RC8)?

Here is sytem info:
Windows version: windows 10 64bit
Processor architecture:
Encfs4win version: 1.10.1-RC8
Dokan version (legacy, modern): modern

[jetwhiz]

@gzl6 -- that part is a known issue with Dokan (1.10.1-RC8).

Even the old version of encfs4win (http://members.ferrara.linux.it/freddy77/encfs.html) stated "NOTE: Windows 7 users should use a drive (like "X:") as plain_dir to avoid case sensitive problems which results in file/folder not found problems.".

At least for now, you must mount to a drive letter when using encfs on Windows.

I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of issue #51
