Check if Vaulty Synced Your Files to Google Drive

If you’ve enabled online backup in Vaulty, your hidden files are automatically saved to your Google Drive in a private format. Here’s how to check that everything is working as expected.

🔍 Where to Look

  1. Open Google Drive on your mobile device or a web browser.
  2. Make sure you’re signed into the Google account you want to check.
  3. Look for a folder named appdata and open it.
  4. Inside there should be a folder named Vaulty.

If you’re unable to find those folders, Vaulty hasn’t backed up to that Google Drive account.

📁 What You’ll Find

  • Inside the Vaulty folder, you’ll see a list of files with the .vdata extension.
  • These are your hidden files. Their names are obfuscated for your privacy.
  • Vaulty uses metadata in the file descriptions to match them with your vault.

⚠️ Do not delete or rename these files! It will cause data loss during syncing.

✅ What If You Don’t See Files?

  • Make sure online backup is enabled in Vaulty.
  • Confirm you are logged in to the same Google account you used in Vaulty.
  • Tap Sync Now in Vaulty settings to trigger an immediate sync.
