Bandwidth

Cryptomator

Choose whether your Cryptomator vaults should be auto detected and unlocked while browsing the parent folder or not by using the Auto detect and open vault in browser option.

Note

Without saving the vaults passwords using keychain, you will receive passwords prompts for the vaults after reconnecting to the server or cloud storage.

Use Keychain

Specify if you want the Save Password option enabled by default while entering the password to unlock your vault. With the option disabled you have to check the checkbox to save the password in keychain manually.
