Where are my cloud services?

[infeo]

To avoid confusion: In context of Cryptomator, the term mount is used when a vault (stored somewhere accessible by your OS) is integrated into the OS. See also Volume Types — Cryptomator 1.7.0 documentation

@Blue_Sky Some of your conclusions are incorrect or you are using the wrong terminology.

@Blue_Sky

So… if you do decide to mount a vault as a folder:

1. You are NOT linking your vault to cloud storage
2. It is essentially a “local” vault, and therefore
3. You sacrifice any benefits you feel you get with putting the vault in the cloud.

1. Correct
2. Wrong The storage location determines if a vault is “local” (better call it offline), not the mount point
3. Wrong because it is a conclusion of 2.

A “cloud mount” does not exist. In Windows, a vault might be shown as a network drive, but this has technical reasons, the vault is not put on your network. If you have access problems, see Cryptomator on Windows: Accessing your vault with admin priviliges
