# Can I browse my Delta Trust backups like a drive?

No — deliberately. Backups in Delta Trust are encrypted on your Mac, versioned, and impossible to browse: not in the Delta Drive window, not on the web, and not by us. That's the same fact that keeps them readable only by you.

To get something back, use **Storage & restore**, choose a version and a destination. If you want files you can open, share and browse from anywhere, keep a copy in **Delta Drive** instead — that's a separate switch.

See [restoring from Delta Trust](https://storagestudio.us/faq/delta-drive/how-do-i-restore-files-from-delta-trust) and [the two sets of folder switches](https://storagestudio.us/faq/delta-drive/why-are-there-two-sets-of-documents-desktop-and-pictures-switches).
