Vault on gvfs-mounted WebDAV cloud

[overheadhunter]

When connecting to the existing vault in Cryptomator, Cryptomator shows the vault as
/run/user/1000/gvfs/dav:host=http://sd2dav.1und1.de, but clicking on the vault does nothing.
Could one imagine that Cryptomator uses dav instead of davs?

Cryptomator needs a locally accessible file system. It is not aware that you’re using WebDAV, i.e. it doesn’t know or care whether it is mounted via dav or davs.

I am not sure if it works 100% fine with vaults located on a GVFS WebDAV mount. Ironically the unlocked vault provided by Cryptomator itself uses the very same technology. This will change with the upcoming version 1.4.0, which adds FUSE. If you’re interested check out the beta. But the storage location of the vault will still need to be a locally accessible file system, so your problem will most likely not magically disappear.

Unfortunately, there is no logfile - is it somewhere else than in ~/.Cryptomator?
I am using Linux Mint 19 beta (Tara) and the latest Cryptomator 64bit version for Linux (deb package).

There is a bug in the .deb installer, which is missing the log configuration. This can easily be fixed, see this answer:

[Linux] Log file not found? Help

The deb version (along others) has a bug: It misses the log configuration file. The good news is: For the .deb and .rpm versions it can easily be fixed by simply downloading the missing logback.xml and moving it into /opt/Cryptomator/app/.
