The Locate Encrypted File feature helps users find the encrypted version of a specific file. This feature is particularly useful when vault files are versioned and the user wants to restore an older version of a file. As Cryptomator encrypts filenames and obfuscates directory structures, users first locate the encrypted file and then restore an older version of the encrypted file with the third party app.

Cryptomator protects your files by not only encrypting their content, but also their names and the overall directory structure of the vault.

For example, if you have a directory structure inside your vault like this:

Cryptomator protects your files by not only encrypting their content, but also their names and the overall directory structure of the vault. As a result, encrypted files and folders inside the vault storage location do not reveal the original names or layout (for an example see [below](#technical-example)).
14
+
15
+
This matters whenever you need to match a cleartext file in your unlocked vault with its encrypted counterpart in the vault storage location, for example when restoring an older version from a cloud provider or backup tool.
16
+
17
+
The app offers two features to reveal the mapping between the cleartext and the encrypted files:
18
+
*`Locate Encrypted File`: You have the cleartext file in the unlocked vault and want to find its encrypted counterpart in the vault storage location.
19
+
*`Decrypt File Name`: You have an encrypted vault file and want to know its original cleartext name.

## Locate Encrypted File {#locate-encrypted-file}

The Locate Encrypted File feature helps you find the encrypted counterpart of a file from inside the vault. This comes in handy when you want to restore an older version of a file.

The Decrypt File Name feature helps you resolve encrypted file names back to their original cleartext names.

A modal window opens showing a two-column table with the encrypted names on the left and their decrypted, cleartext names on the right.
The action bar at the top of the table provides two buttons:

While this increases security, it also makes it impossible to see the original file names and directory structure without decrypting them first.
