Please agree to the following

Summary

When making changes (e.g. creating and saving new files) in a Cryptomator Vault folder (Microsoft Explorer), these changes (added new files) are not being displayed unless the folder content is being reloaded (e.g. by opening another folder and coming back to the current one).

What software is involved?

  • Operating System: Windows 10 22H2 (OS Build 19045.2846)
  • Cryptomator: V1.7.5 (msi install)
  • Microsoft Office 365

Volume Type

WebDAV (Windows Explorer)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Cryptomator is unlocked and vault folder is revealed
  2. A new file is created and saved into this vault folder

Expected Behavior

The new file should be immediately visible in the unlocked Cryptomator Vault folder (Microsoft Explorer).

Actual Behavior

The new file is not displayed in the unlocked Cryptomator Vault folder (Microsoft Explorer).

After selecting another folder in the same Microsoft Explorer Window (e.g. parent folder) and then opening again the Cryptomator Vault folder, the new file is displayed. I guess other means of "refreshing" (closing and reopening Microsoft Explorer) should do the same.

Reproducibility

Always
