Since I control all of them I thought it might be cool to try using the suggested "shared encryption". This seems to have been a mistake. + +My project folder is now a big mess of symlinks to read-only files. + +I can fix this with a "cp -RH" and get my data back and I can muddle through fixing the permissions but this leads me to two conclusions: + +1.
