Reverse Mode: Read-Write #717

Hi,

I am using SyncThing & gocryptfs in reverse mode to sync photos from my phone to a remote device. I want to be able to delete/move encrypted files at the remote end and have those changes propogated back to the phone. I am unable to do so at the moment because reverse mode does not yet support read-write.

This would be super helpful :))

I agree that this would be very helpful. I would like to use rsync + gocryptfs.

It seems that one way to achieve this now would be to operate in regular mode, rather than reverse mode. The drawback to this approach is that all local operations now have the overhead of being decrypted (for reads) and encrypted (for writes). It would be ideal (for some use cases, like my own) to have this overhead only occur while syncing.

The only reverse write mode available so far is by using old encfs 1.9.5.

Chiming in to say that writable reverse mode cipherdirs would be very useful indeed. In my use case, they would allow restoring encrypted backups done by BackupPC directly.
