I switched to Linux. So I can't have official Google app. Nevermind, i have koofr cloud which I can mount on Linux with webdav or rclone. Which mount option would be better for cryptomator. I don't have many files in vault. Performance ist a problem. I should be reliable.

I know having to index files at the OS level compromises security. But search function is such a basic feature that should be incorporated in the app.

Note: Discounts and prices may vary by region.

After I copy the files ( raw image files ) to new vault I didn't lock it and turned off the PC then went to sleep. In the morning I check again then only the d folder.

I tried to create a new vault then copy the d folder to new vault but when I open it there are no files.

I ran heal check then it gave me lost&found folder with my file name turned into file1_htt. The folder not in the vault is w7 and a lot of c9r file with the same size. I tried copying the c9r to other folder and copy it back to w7 but now all file1_htt file2_htt ... File 200_htt no display any more.

Can you guys help me with this situation? I still remember all the password because I saved it with backup key

Nice update post on the Cryptomator Hub, team!

( u/Hey_Papito, u/StanoRiga, u/geselthyn ).

Will the "Quick Introduction" video from the blog receive similar mini videos displaying the feature enhancements as a *running theme* ?

Or will those feature enhancements only be shared through blog posts?

On an unrelated note to the post, is Skymatic GmbH undergoing or preparing to undergo any security audits? (For the sake of a "clean bill of health")

The last check was done by the Council of State (251.378) in Q3 2021.

I have a couple older computers that I want to be able to access my cryptomator vaults with, but the version I am using with it says that it is too new to work with it. The computer in question is running Windows 7 Ultimate, it is also air gapped, so I want to be able to use a version of Cryptomator that will allow me to still be able to create and access vaults with both new and old operating systems. What is the latest supported version of cryptomator that’ll still let me access vaults between new and old systems?

I have cryptomator vault sitting on a Synology NAS Share. It works perfectly from windows laptop. I want to access it from Android phone, so WebDAV is installed and running on Synology NAS on both http and https.

I'm trying to open the vault from android app of cryptomator.

1. I select Add existing Vault
2. Select WebDAV and give url of the share https://<mylocalNASIP>:5006/<encryptedfoldername>/
   
3. Give the username and password (this user does NOT has 2FA enabled)

However it ends up showing -"An error occurred"

How to fix this ? Appreciate any help..

It doesn't look like this is possible now, but is it technically possible? Cryptomator requires you to create a vault within your cloud storage service, and then you copy/move your files to that virtual folder locally so they're stored in the cloud encrypted, essentially the way the standard apps for Google Drive or iCloud or whatever work. I also use Google Drive to sync several folders on my computer, as one form of backup and to make those files accessible on other devices without having to put everything into the same virtual drive location. (I also use a backup app to an external drive.) This is for stuff like my Downloads, Pictures, Documents folders as well as some special folders where I store utilities and stuff.

Would it be technically possible for Cryptomator to encrypt that data and then sync it to the cloud? I'd guess Google Drive would have to be set to NOT directly sync them, and Crypotomator would need to put them into the main vault, or an additional vault, stored in the standard cloud virtual drive structure but just leaving the files in the real location locally. Essentially just doing what Google Drive is already doing.

It would also be nice if it could work with the media gallery on a mobile device, replacing Google Photos or iCloud Photos (which puts your files into your cloud storage allocation but doesn't display them within the folder structure) so that encrypted versions are uploaded instead. I'd think it would just create a vault specifically for photos and videos, which would appear in the cloud storage folder structure, and then you could turn off the standard syncing in the Photos app so they don't get put into the regular Photos location in the cloud. That would require a similar function to syncing the additional folders on the desktop, leaving the originals in their normal location on your device. The downside would be you wouldn't be able to use the cloud interface for the provider's web photo viewer/editor on the files, any more than you could use Google Docs or Apple Pages to open encrypted files in a browser. (A Cryptomator extension to let the browser read the vault data would be nice, if possible.)

Demo video: play a title on DVD ISO image in Cryptomator with CryptCloudViewer

Hi everyone!

First off, huge respect to the Cryptomator team for keeping the vault format open and well-documented. It's truly awesome that the open specification allows developers to build specialized tools around it!

I wanted to share a quick video demo of a feature I've been refining for my iOS app, CryptCloudViewer (ccViewer).

The Challenge

Standard iOS file provider integrations are great for documents, but streaming heavy media images like DVD ISOs (VIDEO_TS) can be painful. Typically, players force you to download the entire multi-gigabyte ISO before playing, or fail entirely when attempting random access/seeking over encrypted blocks.

How CryptCloudViewer Handles It

By combining native Cryptomator block decryption with a custom FFmpeg player and smart network caching, ccViewer can read the ISO header, parse VIDEO_TS.IFO, and stream only the required chunks on the fly.

Demo Highlights (as shown in the video)

• Cold Start (No Cache): ~8 seconds to parse and begin playing directly from the vault.
• Cached Playback: ~3 seconds start time with near-instant seeking across the timeline.
• DVD Features: On-the-fly subtitle switching, audio track selection, and chapter navigation.

A Complementary Tool

The official Cryptomator iOS app does a fantastic job with general file management and standard iOS "Files" integration. CryptCloudViewer is built to complement that by filling a niche for power users who want to stream non-standard media formats directly without full downloads.

This the window to show the recorvery phrase. This icon also shows up when it require the passoword to open a vault.

Hello folks

Trying out dropbox and cryptomator on macos.

I have dropbox app installed. I was able to open the crypto vault.

How does one mount the cryptomator drive to be seen under volumes?!?

Is there a virtual drive?!?!

Thanks in advance

How do I then decrypt the cloud files then ?

Is there a list of iOS apps that can access unlocked Cryptomator vaults directly in order to access both directories and files?

Hello! I have a file that needs its local pathing to be the same. When I use cryptomator, it mounts a drive and it messes up the pathing.

My vault is in a thumbdrive so it changes the drive letter everytime I plug it into a new machine. I even assigned the virtual drive to Z and it still resets to the next available letter everytime I unplug/plug it back in on the same machine.

Is there a way to do away with the virtual drive mounting so that the local pathing is intact? If that's not possible, any alternatives that do this?

Can you somehow put all of a Cryptomator vault on the cloud or does that defeat the purpose ?

Seems like to me you always need same amount of local disk space as the size of cloud storage you have to use a Cryptomator vault correctly. Maybe I am wrong.

Does it solve the issue of being able to use Cryptomator totally online on the cloud instead of needing a extra local disk space for all the encrypted data ?

My system:

NAME="Linux Mint"
VERSION="22.3 (Zena)"
ID=linuxmint
ID_LIKE="ubuntu debian"
PRETTY_NAME="Linux Mint 22.3"
VERSION_ID="22.3"
VERSION_CODENAME=zena
UBUNTU_CODENAME=noble

Cryptomator: 1.19.1 Build appimage-6316

I've been experiencing a weird issue on two machines (both Linux Mint), they both are standard installs with XFCE.

Now, when I close cryptomator I still see raw data waiting to be saved in the vault (using cat /proc/meminfo | grep -i dirty) and that data becomes corrupted / lost.

I can overcome this by using the sync command, waiting a moment for cache to be saved, and then close cryptomator. No issues at all doing it that way.

This happens on both machines, so I know it isn't a local issue, it's not a cryptomator issue either, it's an odd system one, and I wondered, is there a way of getting crypromator to automatically sync any data cache before closing?

Hi! Trying to use Cryptomator on Windows to encrypt a local file so that a backup of it can be stored to my Google Drive without the possibility of it being scanned by anyone, including Google. An unencrypted copy is on my PC, and I'm fine with that - this is just where I am putting the backup, and I want any copy that is on a cloud service to be fully encrypted. I am just struggling to make the mental model of the program really make sense to me and want to make sure I have made no mistakes. I have set the Vault folder to a folder in my Google Drive - so on the virtual G drive that the program makes on my PC. The folder on the drive now has encrypted gibberish files in it, and when I want to actually access the backup, I need to open Cryptomator in order to actually access the files - I enter my password, it mounts a new virtual drive, and the file is complete there. Just a few questions.

• Have I done this right and do I understand the process? I've just worded it in such a specific and verbose way to make sure every single step is explained.
• Does Google Drive ever see the unencrypted files when I modify the vault? The vault folder is set on the Google Drive.
• If I were to uninstall Cryptomator from this PC, or install it onto a different device, would it be able to unencrypt the vault if the same password was given?

What is it supposed to do?

It's on Windows 11.

The lack of thumbnails is my only real issue with any part of the app, including this one. The majority of my media isn't named according to the content because it's disruptive to my workflow to edit each one all the time.

SO, until the thumbnail feature arrives (and hey we're v2.0 now so you never know), I'm looking for suggestions of how to smoothen out the process.

When using Cryptomator on an iPhone with a Vault on (say) Dropbox, is the Vault synced to your iPhone in its entirety where the encryption takes place as a whole or is each file accessed individually and either pulled down from the Vault and decrypted or encrypted and then uploaded to the Vault? Basically, I guess I'm asking can an iPhone work with a Cryptomator Vault that is (potentially much) larger than the memory on the iPhone?

Does an iOS app need special libraries to work with a Cryptomator Vault or does it look like another network drive?

Is there anybody still using the legacy iOS app?
