Hello,

I'm just posting this as a warning to anyone using Cryptomator for serious stuff. I've been using it in not-very-critical stuff for some years now and the reality is that I've had data loss on multiple occasions under Windows.

I had two major incidents:

  • After creating a vault in Google Drive (via Cyberduck) it worked fine for some time but eventually the vault was empty;
  • Long file names seem to f*k something and the files simply vanish after opening the vault a few times.

If you google "cryptomator data loss" there are a LOT of complaints and frankly I'll ditch it now.

I mitigated the issue by testing my restore procedure:D

I am still not sure if it was an restic or minio problem, but many files were corrupt.

today i am using borg.
