Making ReadyTools Vault Faster: Performance and Caching Improvements

Cloud storage should feel responsive.

Opening files, browsing folders, selecting documents, and switching between different storage environments should be smooth, even when dealing with larger collections of files.

That's why we've been working on improving the performance of ReadyTools Vault.

Smarter File Loading

One of the improvements focuses on how files are loaded.

Instead of waiting for an unnecessarily large collection of files to be processed, the updated approach prioritizes the initial file batch and allows additional content to load progressively.

The initial batch contains up to 100 files, helping the interface become usable sooner.

More Efficient Caching

We've also improved the caching architecture.

The updated implementation takes different storage contexts into account, including:

• Individual users.

• Team storage environments.

• Permission-specific access.

This helps prevent cached data from one context from being incorrectly reused in another.

Better Handling of File Requests

The updated infrastructure also improves how repeated storage requests are handled.

Multiple identical requests can share ongoing work instead of unnecessarily repeating the same operations against B2.

This helps reduce redundant requests and makes the storage layer more efficient.

Safer User Switching

Caching must never come at the expense of privacy.

We've also improved how the application handles signed file URLs and user context changes, helping prevent outdated responses from being reused after switching accounts or storage environments.

Performance Without Unnecessary Complexity

Our objective is not simply to make Vault faster in ideal conditions.

We want improvements that remain reliable when users switch accounts, access team storage, open large collections, and work with different permissions.

These changes are part of our continued investment in making ReadyTools Vault more responsive and efficient.

Less waiting. Smarter caching. A better storage experience.
