A new feature that encrypts data when syncing it with untrusted devices has been in early testing the past few months. With the release of v1.15.0-rc.1 we **invite everyone interested to test** it. Do not use it yet for important data, it is still meant for _testing_. The feature is still hidden behind a feature flag: To show controls for untrusted devices in the web UI, you need to add `untrusted` to the `featureFlags` options - either through Actions \> Advanced in the web UI or by adding the `untrusted` element within `` in the config.xml. User documentation: [Untrusted (Encrypted) Devices — Syncthing v1 documentation](https://docs.syncthing.net/users/untrusted.html) Design and implementation documentation: [Untrusted Device Encryption — Syncthing v1 documentation](https://docs.syncthing.net/specs/untrusted.html) Please ask questions about the feature here on the forum and report bugs you encounter to [the issue tracker](https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues) - if in doubt just post on the forum. ---

When a Linux node is used Syncthing (the filesystem, whatever terminology want to use) will force a case change on a file even on a Windows node. When a Windows node changes file case not so much. If two Windows untrusted/encrypted nodes are used is understanding correct that a case change on the Windows node will not result in a change on the untrusted/encrypted node? Or would a case change on a Windows node trigger the entire file to be re-uploaded to an untrusted/encrypted node? ---

Ideally case changes should always propagate everywhere regardless of filesystem type. This should then result in a full re-transfer to untrusted devices, yes, as any rename will. ---
