When does a locked Delta Drive folder lock itself again?
Short answer: After 5, 15 (the default), 30 or 60 minutes without use, and whenever your Mac sleeps, its screen locks or Storage Studio quits, or on Lock now. Files you opened from it are private copies, deleted when it locks again.
After a number of minutes without use — 5, 15 (the default), 30 or 60 — and straight away whenever your Mac sleeps, its screen locks or Storage Studio quits, or when you choose Lock now.
When it locks again, the files you opened from it are deleted from your Mac: they were private copies. Changes you made to an opened file are not saved back into the locked folder, so to keep a new version, save it somewhere on your Mac and put it in with Add files… while the folder is open.
To open it again, double-click it and enter your PIN and the code we email you.
