Please agree to the following

Summary

When working offline, files is not in local vault ios

System Setup

So i googled it and found a txt saying “ if you do not want a folder to be synced with icloud, put an extension of “ nosync” to the folder ( folder.nocsync) then icloud will not sync it. It worked. As i can open saved acrobat pdf files even if my internet connection is deactivated, i am not sure if it is cryptomator or icloud. Whats more intesting, i wanted to rename a folder, and imidiatly the fotoes disppears. ( they where there, but when i switched internet off, they seemed to be already synced with the icloud, so i could not view them whith no internet. I have to create a new folder “ new folder.nosync” and then move the fotoes there, then it worked. Next step was to create a vault “ favorites.nosync” and that seems to work. Standard of some other apps (cloud) syncing; if the files are deleted, they will be deleted in the cloud as well. May be if icloud sync can not seee the files in cryptomator ( when its locked?) they are deleted in the icloud? Also for any “ normal” user this “ local store should be working even if they know nothing about icloud setting. If its icloud and not cryptomator, will you consider to put it in the documentation? ( for offline work)

Cloud Type

Other File Provider

Steps to Reproduce

  1. [First Step] create a local vault on ios
  2. Download fotoes
  3. Wait 1 minute
  4. deactivate internet (wifi/mobile)
  5. The fotoes can not be displayed due to “missing internet”

Expected Behavior

The fotoes to stay in the local folder

Actual Behavior

Fotoes “disappeared

Reproducibility

Always

Relevant Log Output

No response

Anything else?

I have done everything i can to avoid using icloud for sync ( fotoes, messages, ..).even now deactivated icloud drive. You may say it should work the other way around, but still i think cryptomator should work in offline mode on ios, even if icould is set or not. At least just a note “working in offline mode in local vaults” But still i do not understand the logic in detail how it works

So after some days !!! My fikes were gone. Or CM could not show them off line (without internet) did deactivate icloud sync and icloud backup, and activated internet connection, and now CM could sho w my local files, from where ? so now i think thenfollowing happen: Me clicking on a file Cryptomator: no internet so i can not download any thing.

CM should say: if the file is on the device then show it, and if internet is not active do nothing more.(if internet IS active THEN its time to decide if there is a newer version). The file does extist o my ipad, but i cant upload foles from ipad using chrome . I will later upload a file from pc.

cryptomator-files-20231024 picture illustrating that there are files in cryptomator folders, but it will not display them because CM first check if internet is active. at least that is my best guess.
