AliasVault: Open-Source E2EE Password & (Email) Alias Manager

Hi @melliefollowing, thanks for your message! Are you using the cloud-hosted environment or are you self-hosting? Synchronization times of the vault are dependent on your vault size and internet connection speed. Currently AliasVault stores all data in your vault as a single blob on the server, which means that if you are storing (lots of) large attachments, sync times can become quite slow. Attachments in AliasVault are primarily designed for storing small files, like .txt files, (small) scans of passports and things like that. Even though AliasVault supports all kind of files, storing large files in your end-to-end encrypted vault has downsides. If you’re using the cloud-hosted server, feel free to send your username in a DM so I can check the size of your vault to see if that’s the reason for the delays you’re experiencing. We do have planned to update the vault storage model into multiple end-to-end encrypted “buckets”, which should speed up sync times so it e.g. doesn’t need to load all attachments when only changing a credential. This storage model update is already being worked on behind the scenes as part of the upcoming “vault sharing” feature, and will become available in the next 2-3 months.
