I would like to be more precise.
When you open your vault and the system is asking for your password, there’s a button below “more options”.
Click it and you can select if you want to
- save your password (yes, because your want to auto unlock your vault when starting cryptomator with autostart),
- automatically unlock your vault (yes. It is labeled as “beta/experimental”, but I never had any issues with it since i use)
- connect to a virtual drive (yes)
- Give the drive a name (optional)
- Show your drive (optional. I you enable that, your file explorer will open after unlocking your vault and show the virtual drive.)
- Select a drive letter (optional, but you should. Then always the same drive letter is used for the virtual drive. Very helpful for e.g. automatic backup processes)
After you have done you selections, click on “unlock vault”. This will save your preferences and
Every time you open cryptomator, it will auto unlock your vault and auto mount the virtual drive. If you want to do that when starting your computer, put a link of the cryptomator.exe in your autostart system folder.
