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 can’t find those folders, check the Google account selected in Vaulty’s Settings > Online Backup. An absent folder does not tell you whether an earlier backup was moved or deleted.

📁 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, move, or rename these files. That can make your backup unavailable for restore.

✅ 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.
  • Go to Settings > Online Backup in Vaulty and tap Backup Status to start a backup right away.

Still not seeing them? Contact Vaulty support from within the app: go to Menu > Settings > About and tap Email Us. When you message us from inside Vaulty it will include some helpful diagnostic information so we can figure out what’s going on. If you can’t open the app, email us at help@vaultyapp.com.
