Hey Troy,
Thanks for your message, I'll try my best to explain what's going on here.
Espionage uses disk images under the hood to store the encrypted contents of the folder. Disk images rely on a technology that requires that they have a specific capacity set ahead of time, when they are created.
They can grow in size, but only up to the capacity that was specified. So for example, you could create a disk image that contained absolutely nothing in it, and had a capacity of 10GB, and it would be about 50MB in size initially, and then as you added stuff to it, it would increase in space (on the hard drive), up to 10GB. Once that limit is hit, the disk image must be "resized" so that it can support a larger amount of data.
It is near the top of our priority to make this easy to do, but for now you have two options:
- The directions you saw, which are actually pretty simple even though they seem daunting (give them a shot).
- You can alternatively restore the folder and then re-encrypt it, and that will increase its capacity ten-fold, but this takes a while.
If I can answer any other questions don't hesitate to reply!
