Thanks.
Sorry to be a pest but I think I’m close to getting it.
So again for clarity, here is my situation. I store all my files in gdrive. When I installed Cryptometer for Windows I moved all of the files from gdrive into that new vault as instructed by you about a year ago. I also purchased the Android version. Everything was running smoothly until the issue.
So I work with files in file explorer but in gdrive (online) I only see many numbered folders with encrypted data within the vault, the way it should be.
Since I have to move files out of this vault to decrypt them before uninstalling Cryptomator and I decided to put them back in gdrive temporarily, don’t all of the original encrypted files and folders still remain in the gdrive vault? So it seems I end up with one set of encrypted files and one set of decrypted files correct?
If that’s the case, to prevent this, I suppose I should delete the old vault and all its content in gdrive so that I am left with only one set, the decrypted files.
Lastly, just to confirm what you said, as an alternative, if I wish to keep my files private as opposed to storing them temporarily in unencrypted format (on gdrive) until Cryptomator is reinstalled, I can store them locally then move them back into the new vault once Cryptomator is installed bypassing gdrive right?
Much appreciated.
