Cryptomator 1: Legacy

Help
1

iCloud states that my vault is Cryptomatot 1: Legacy. Why is that? I don’t use FUSE.

I assume you are talking about the mobile app.
There is an old (legacy) Version 1, and a new Version 2.

If you bought the old version 1 you can switch to the new version 2 for free.

I created my vault on macOS with a current version of Cryptomator.
But this shows up if I check iCloud (e.g., on iOS):

Im sorry, I do not understand your problem.
Maybe you can describe what you are doing, and what you are expecting that should happen, and what happens instead.
What I can say is that there are 2 Versions of cryptomator for iOS.
Version one (red frame) is an old legacy version that is only available for historical purposes and will be deleted in the near future (Cryptomator legacy), and the up to date version of cryptomator (green frame).

Okay, so I created a vault on macOS. There, I use an up to date version of Cryptomator. Now, I just checked iCloud on iOS (without having Cryptomator installed). And it says “version 1 (legacy)”.

I’m just curious as to why the current version on macOS would store data in a legacy format.

What changed between version 1 and 2?

You may not have “Cryptomator 1: Legacy” installed on your iOS right now but you’re still using the old iCloud container from that app.

In the new Cryptomator version 2 for iOS, there is no need for an iCloud container anymore and you can create vaults in any location at iCloud Drive.

This wasn’t possible in the past due to the lacking integration of Cryptomator into Apple’s Files app. That’s why there was this “workaround” with its own iCloud container.

I am pretty sure I have been using Version 2.0 for a long time now. Would it be safe to delete my Cryptomator 1: Legacy container? It’s taking up quite a bit of space in my iCloud and I feel like it might be duplicate data. Thanks

With version 2.0, you can also access that “legacy” iCloud container. If you’re still using the encrypted data from the legacy container, you should not delete the data. Because that’s where the encrypted data is located.
