[Android] Unlock vault and expose folder in filesystem

[simonsan]

Hey there,
I’m using Cryptomator on my Android phone and wanted to use it together with Logseq, so I put my Logseq folder in a vault and was syncing it with Nextcloud to my phone. I’m not sure if this use case is not possible with Cryptomator, but I can’t find any way to expose the contents of the vault in the filesystem, so I can open it with Logseq on my phone? Is there anything I’m doing wrong, or is it just not possible?

Thanks in advance!

Yes, this is not possible until the document provider feature is implemented in android app.

Add a document provider to the Android app

Some Android apps, usually from cloud storage providers, implement an Android facility from the storage access framework called “document provider”. This allows other apps to query for content on that app that might not necessarily reside in the filesystem, and with more granular access control than if it were stored say, on an sdcard. While cryptomator makes use of this feature to write and write to a vault, I couldn’t find an option to allow other apps to write to and read from a vault trough…
