Hi from me as well, kangy1989!

 

I’m afraid that at the moment, this is expected behavior on the desktop app.

Nancy,

 

This makes zero sense. When the product was boxcryptor, the local folder was encrypted and the key would decrypt them.  The only sync happened when the local or web folder was updated and it would sync accordingly.  

 

The way the vault works on the desktop makes it impossible to use and forces you to use the web interface which is far more cumbersome when using frequently.

 

Please add my comments to the development team as well.

 

Thanks!
