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.
