#63 Password Sync doesn't show files 'created' by RaiDrive
Hello,
I use RaiDrive https://www.raidrive.com/ to keep my Google Drive 'mounted' on my system and keep things in sync. I've run into an issue where, due to using this, when I save my Password on my PC, the version uploaded back to Drive now has 'Created by RaiDrive', which is likely a limitation of Drive itself unfortunately. However, files that are created by RaiDrive aren't recognized at all by the Sync, which has become an issue. I'm hoping there can be a way to fix this, thank you.

Are the files created as .psafe3 files in Google Drive? If you manually create and upload a .psafe3 file, does the Sync app see it?
Yes to both. It just downloads the file, lets me edit it, then uploads it back up. Still a psafe3 file, and i can open it manually by downloading it on my phone. And yeah, when I upload myself, Sync works fine, how I figured out the issue was RaiDrive
Do the RaiDrive files show as just part of your normal GDrive files seen in the web interface? Or, does it use some separate application directory or anything?
Yes. It shows up just the same. In fact this version of the file was uploaded manually. I then opened it from the virtual drive RaiDrive makes (G:/My Safes/) and saved it. That is when it nows becomes considered as 'Created' by RaiDrive, as you can see in the picture and no longer shows up in Sync.
If you hover over the 'unknown file' text, do you get a tool tip? It should indicate the MIME type like application/psafe3. Also, if you type 'psafe3' in the top search box, does the file appear.
No. It seems that whatever RaiDrive is doing, it becomes an 'application/unknown' for the type when I hover over it. It does show up when searching psafe3 though. I'll have to check with RaiDrive and see why it might be uploading it wrong then.
Ah, ok. The app looks for application/octet-stream and the psafe3 MIME type. It won't find application/unknown. Not a tough fix. Does RaiDrive have an option or anything for the default MIME type?
