Description
Hi all,
Delta Sync would be great for my truecrypt/veracrypt huge files (~30-100gb). Without delta sync I must stay absent from this product.
Delta Sync would also provide you a feature to distinguish from owncloud
Couldn't there be an optional (maybe extension / folder / file -based) mechanism to perform Delta Sync ("optionally" as I agree that Delta Sync does not make sense for all kind of files/folders)? Maybe even using something existing like rsync?

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named; begin by reviewing the 58-comment discussion and the existing sync architecture. Done would require an agreed optional mechanism for syncing only changed bytes in selected files or folders, including the large TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt use case and any rsync-based approach retained.
