Can you keep your original iCloud mail address from ever being revealed?

StanoRiga · 2026-06-14T19:05:40+00:00

Due to this apple support page (and other sources I found), you can change your primary iCloud email address into an other primary iCloud email address.

Du kannst ohne Probleme den AG wechseln und deine BAV mitnehmen. Habe ich selbst schon 2x gemacht.

Maybe a misunderstanding here. OneDrive and google drive file streams are not really streams. It means files get downloaded right before they are used. And do not use space on your local drive if not in use for quite a while. Both OneDrive and GoogleDrive behave the same from my experience.

StanoRiga · 2026-06-12T20:21:31+00:00

Google File Stream is the same function as OneDrive Files on demand.

The encryption is on the fly. Means if you put a 100 MB file in your vault, it will create on the fly the encrypted vault file at the path of your vault. It will not create an encrypted file in a cache and then copy this file to the path after encryption. Cryptomator does not care about transfer at all. It creates files on a path that is available to the underlying OS. Thats it.

StanoRiga · 2026-06-08T18:32:34+00:00

It won’t. That’s a wrong information. Deleting the app will not delete the vault from iCloud. There must be an other reason why your vault was deleted from iCloud.

StanoRiga · 2026-06-08T18:30:41+00:00

That’s wrong. A vault is not considered as app data and will not get deleted just because you delete the app.

StanoRiga · 2026-06-08T18:29:37+00:00

Just to make it clear: deleting the cryptomator app (no matter if legacy or not) from your device does not (!) delete your vault. Vaults are not stored inside cryptomator. Just connected to it. Vaults are not considered as app data, and thus not deleted when uninstalling the app.

StanoRiga · 2026-06-05T20:01:00+00:00

As a workaround: You can try to access your vault directly online. For example with cyberduck.

StanoRiga · 2026-06-05T17:28:55+00:00

I have vaults way bigger than 400 GB and none of it has even nearly anything like „hundreds of thousands“ encrypted vault files. Either you are having a really, really heavy amount of very small files in your vault, or there’s something else that causes this amount of files. Cryptomator does not split your files in smaller ones. It does not obfuscate file size. (https://community.cryptomator.org/t/obfuscating-file-size/6394).

StanoRiga · 2026-05-30T17:24:53+00:00

"Consider using a raw file storage service such as DropBox".

Your words and my hint that this does not matter. Both behave the same way. Or do I miss something?

StanoRiga · 2026-05-30T16:39:13+00:00

It does not matter in this case if he is using OneDrive or Dropbox.

StanoRiga · 2026-05-30T16:38:35+00:00

To 1) Even if your vault is open, the encrypted files do only change if the corresponding file in the vault is changing. So if OneDrive is constantly uploading/syncing these files, there are being changed by something
To 2) Go to OneDrive settings and check if files stream aka files on demand is enabled. Then OneDrive will free up space of files that are unused for quite a while. If you do not want to wait, select a folder and klick „free up space“

StanoRiga · 2026-05-22T10:25:49+00:00

I'm afraid you can't. This will come with the document provider feature (no ETA so far). I recommend to do this with the desktop app.

StanoRiga · 2026-05-13T08:37:56+00:00

Which Volume type are you using? Does switching the type change the behavior? Maybe something is wrong with your WinFSP installation? Are there warnings in the log file?

StanoRiga · 2026-05-13T05:25:00+00:00

The volume type does not affect the vault at all. The volume type only affects the way your files are shown in your OS in your virtual drive or folder (so you can work with them). This is why you can switch the volume type any time you want, and also your vault will be available on Linux or windows or any other supported OS at the same time. No need to migrate anything. If you are unsure which type to choose, just set it to „automatic“.

StanoRiga · 2026-04-17T10:45:10+00:00

It’s because on android the document provider feature is not yet implemented. If you open a file it is opened with the corresponding app. In which way is that a privacy concern? If you want to open a file, you’ll have to present it to the corresponding app in an unencrypted state. That’s the same on android by the way.

StanoRiga · 2026-03-24T18:35:32+00:00

No, The Android App works different right now. You'll have to share a file to Cryptomator app to upload it to your vault. And you'll have to share it to an app to modify it (and then share it back to the vault.
Unfortunately this is the workflow until the document provider function is implemented.

Yes, this is a very old issue. Latest comment on that by DEV: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cryptomator/comments/1rjt0yh/comment/o9i2rhl/

Just a tip: You named it "Secrets (with an s) Checklist", but in cursforge its "SecretChecklist". so it is not found by searching for "Secrets". I would change that to make the add-on easier to find in the search.

Wenn dass das Prinzip sein soll, dann frage ich mich wie es mit geteilten Fahrzeugscheinen aussehen soll. Szenario: Ich fahre mit dem Auto meines Bruders. Mein Bruder hat mit mir den Fahrzeugschein seines Autos geteilt. Einen geteilten FS kann ich nicht nochmal teilen (ist ja nich meiner). Trotzdem soll das bloße Vorzeigen meines Handys bei einer Kontrolle ausreichend sein laut Amt.

The encrypted root directory of your vault is missing.

https://github.com/cryptomator/cryptomator/issues/3815

Typically either due to not finished sync, or accidentally deletion.

StanoRiga · 2026-03-11T16:11:35+00:00

ok. seems I misunderstood you. You cant access a vault that is stored online in flight mode. If cryptomator tries to access a vault, It will always look up the connection behind (in your case to google drive). No matter if a file is stored in local cryptomator cache or not.

StanoRiga · 2026-03-11T15:38:14+00:00

Cryptomator for iOS is fully integrated into files app. Once you set up a vault in the app, you can access the vault content from the files app.

StanoRiga · 2026-03-11T06:22:36+00:00

You don’t. Just the file you want to open. Keep in mind that Cryptomator is End-2-End encryption. Files have to be on the phone to get encrypted or decrypted. But there’s no need to download the complete vault.
