We have integrated the DFO feature into Tresorit Drive 2.0. Activating DFO separately is only necessary if you have not yet performed this upgrade.
By enabling direct file open, you will be able to open and edit smaller files directly from your Tresorit app — even if the file is in a tresor that’s not syncing at the moment.
If you edit an unsynced file from Tresorit, changes you make will be saved to the cloud automatically.
📝 Note: Direct file open works on files that are under 48 MB.
How to enable Direct File Open
- Windows
- Mac
- Open Tresorit.
- Navigate to
Settings. - Click Advanced.
-
Toggle the switch next to Direct file open.
- Open Tresorit.
- Navigate to
Preferences. - Click Advanced.
-
Toggle the switch next to Direct file open.
- Tresorit will ask you to install FUSE on your computer.
📝 Note: With FUSE, we can connect your Tresorit files to your Finder, giving you direct access to data stored in the cloud.
How long are temp files stored on Windows?
Tresorit won’t cache files even if you are using direct file open; however, Windows does (MacOS and Linux are not affected). These temp files are stored for 60 seconds by default.
This is a computer-wide setting and can be changed in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\MRxDAV\Parameters\FileNotFoundCacheLifeTimeInSec
