Can't open vault after upgrade to 1.16.2

Hello, I was on macOS 13.0 and everything with fine with my vault. I upgraded to 15.5 and couldn’t load the vault anymore. So I upgraded to 1.16.2 and now when trying to add my vault it says:

I don’t have any vault.cryptomator file. I don’t think I ever did.

So I tried to create a new vault and copy that file over to my old vault like I saw on a post but doing so I get the following error:

Error Code G50O:ME3Q:ME3Q

What can I do?

Thanks!

Welcome to the Cryptomator Community

Don’t do that. It does not work, because a new vault has a different key for decryption. By copying you are mixing stuff encrypted with old vault with a different encryption key.

You stumbled into a small bug: Unable to add/import legacy vaults · Issue #3847 · cryptomator/cryptomator · GitHub

To workaround it:

Install Cryptomator version 1.15.2
Migrate the vault
Upgrade to the latest Cryptomator version (currently 1.16.2)

Thank you, that works.

Perfect, that worked! Just had to upgrade macFUSE as well.
