Title says it all. I want to make use of Cryptomator. But I feel like Apple has slowly been nerfing Cryptomator’s ability to work properly.
So far, I would recommend FUSE.
That’s what I switched to, and it seems to work better than the other choices. I’m just worried another Mac OS update is going to break FUSE.
Well, the download page now recommends Fuse-T for Apple Silicon. But the settings in the app still list Fuse-T as “Experimental.”
I can’t get Fuse-T to work. All appears good, and I can create a vault, but when I try to copy a bunch of files to my encrypted vault, the mounted drive disconnects half-way through the file transfer. Any thoughts? Is there any way to re-install Fuse-T?

I have tried both: Fuse and Fuse-T. But Fuse-T doesn’t work properly. Using Fuse-T, I can’t copy or download files to macOS. I always get the following error massage:
Using Fuse, I don’t have this issue.
To answer the opening question:
When wil FUSE-T support be stable and not experimental?
When FUSE-T is runs stable. With the last MacOS version (macOS 15.0.1 Sequoia), FUSE-T showed (again) stability problems, see FUSE-T: Server connections interrupted · Issue #3569 · cryptomator/cryptomator · GitHub
If you experience similar problems, look into the linked issue, maybe the described workaround helps.
FUSE-T will result in data loss. I’d remove the recommendation from the download page.
I’ve had no issues with macFUSE on Silicon (currently running on Sonoma).
Really hoping that FSKit support #3583 will stabilise sometime this year, and then the need for workarounds in macOS will stop.
I’m getting exactly these issues as if today March 2nd 2025, running the latest Fuse-T and the apple silicone version of Cryptomator, this doesn’t;t bode well as a new user 
I wrote to Alex, the author of Fuse, and he was exceptionally helpful and sorted the problems quickly. alex@fuse-t.org
