Frequently asked questions
Does DroidFS store vault passwords?
No. Passwords live in memory only during unlocked sessions by design. Exported vaults need their passwords separately. Losing both strands the data permanently.
Can DroidFS open desktop gocryptfs vaults?
Create the vault on the computer with gocryptfs, copy it over, and open it in DroidFS with the same password. Forward-compatibility holds across versions. Keep vault software updated on both ends.
