### Summary

There are two download choices (other than portable) but no clear explanation or reasoning of the difference.

### What software is involved?

Download section of website says:
"This installer includes the third-party driver WinFsp. You can also download the MSI installer without dependencies."

Hmm...ok. Well this makes zero sense off the bat.

Thus a person has two possible download options? So now I try to figure out what this means. (Cryptomator didn't USED to have 2 choices and I'm already confused and this tells me nothing else.)

As a computer/tech person (I'm not 'general' audience level) I read and stare at that text and have zero idea what it means or what choice I'm supposed to make and the consequences or differences thereof. This is bad user interaction.

Saying that an installer doesn't have a DEPENDENCY is not the same as saying the resulting INSTALLATION has different FUNCTIONALITY. So then I go glance at the WinFsp page it seems to be doing some sort of entire alternate file-system-thing. Um, Ok. But what does that mean? How is it different when I get the MSI without 'dependencies". Why is this WinFsp thing and option included in one and not the other? and do I need it? What breaks if I dont have it? Am I better off without it?

Am I supposed to now go research the WinFsp framework now to answer the question? etc etc
(Maybe there is a page elsewhere on the Cryptomator site explaining this, but it shouldn't be 'elsewhere', it should be right there at the download.)

My suggestion is that this choice/situation be briefly explained on the download page in plain english. Why the two downloads, what does 'no dependencies' mean (since by definition it doesn't mean functionality changes, it just means something is 'all encompassing' or 'self contained'). Can we make this better so people know how to choose? Thanks.
