Operators
A folder on your computer that matches the cloud.
The appsite command-line tool syncs a folder on your computer with Cloud Storage: it pulls what changed in the cloud and pushes what changed on your computer.

AppSite Vault
Offline copies that stay in step with the cloud.
The Vault keeps offline copies on an operator’s computer in two-way sync with Cloud Storage. What changed in the cloud comes down, what changed on the computer goes up, and when both changed both versions are kept. A sync never deletes a file on either side.
Open to everyoneSee how the Vault worksWhat the Vault keeps and how a sync decides. No account needed to look.StaffEnter Desk-liteVault on its own, once you sign in — what is registered, what the cloud holds for your workspace and what it costs — and, for platform administrators, which computers hold copies.
Who it’s for
Anyone whose work lives in files that have to exist in the cloud and on a computer.
Workspace owners
See what your workspace has stored.
Browse the files the cloud holds for your workspace one folder at a time, with a download link where a file has one. Each workspace sees its own folder.

Platform administrators
See which computers hold copies.
Every computer that syncs reports what it holds, what is waiting to come down or go up, and any conflict — with the command that settles it.

Two-way sync that keeps both
Nothing is overwritten. Nothing is deleted.
When the cloud and the computer both changed a file, the Vault keeps both versions side by side and you choose which one wins. A file removed on one side is left alone on the other.
- Pull and push — what changed in the cloud comes down; what changed on the computer goes up.
- Conflicts — both versions are kept side by side until you choose, with --prefer local or --prefer remote.
- Never deletes — a sync leaves a file removed on one side alone on the other.
- Checked downloads — each download is verified against Storage’s md5 before it is put in place.
- Firestore copies — a read-only offline copy of a module’s data as readable JSON; values that look like secrets are left out.
- A folder per workspace — each workspace sees its own Storage folder and no other.
- Costs from the bill — storage per feature, your plan’s allowance and, for administrators, the platform’s cloud costs from Google’s billing export.
From a new computer to a synced folder in three steps
Connect, sync, look.
Step 1 · Connect

Step 2 · Sync
Plan, then sync.
appsite vault plan shows what a sync would do and moves nothing; appsite vault sync carries it out.

Step 3 · Look
See it in the Vault.
The Overview shows what is registered and what the cloud holds; platform administrators also see each computer and what is waiting.
