Tresorit Drive gives you access to your files and folders stored on the cloud directly through your computer’s file browser, regardless of whether they are synced or not.
By enabling Tresorit Drive, there’s no need to sync and store data on a hard drive or SSD. This makes for a good security measure to protect your files in case of theft or hacking.

Does Tresorit require any additional permissions to run Direct File Open or Tresorit Drive on Mac?
While Tresorit itself runs in the user space, kernel access is required for Tresorit Drive. We access the kernel via FUSE, a third-party application that is specifically designed for separating the application from the kernel.
Download and install FUSE following the walkthrough steps. Please note that you will need Admin rights on MacOS for this installation and to enable Direct file open and Tresorit Drive.
