The 1+N Architecture: Why It’s Different
Section titled “The 1+N Architecture: Why It’s Different”Sync Vault isn’t just a “sync” tool; it’s a Cloud-Integrated File System.
- “1” (The Cloud): Your central archive (Baidu, Aliyun, etc.) holds everything.
- “N” (Your Devices): Only the files you are currently working on stay local.
- VFS (Virtual File System): Files appear in your vault as tiny stubs (
.osvc). They occupy zero space until you click to “hydrate” them.
