Use your Vault in Drime Desktop

Drime Desktop can show your Vault as a folder on your computer. It is your end-to-end encrypted folder: it exists on this computer only while it is unlocked, and its files are decrypted here and nowhere else.

#Before you start

• Create your Vault in the Drime web app first: see What is Vault?. Otherwise Drime Desktop shows This account has no Vault yet. Create it in the Drime web app, then come back here.

• Drime Desktop syncs your personal Vault, on Windows.

#Unlock the Vault

1. Open the Vault.

   In the Drime window opened from the notification area, click Open Vault, or go to Preferences > Sync > Vault.

2. In Unlock the Vault, enter your Vault Pass.

   It is not your account password.

3. Optional: tick Remember on this device.

   You no longer type your Vault Pass each time. A key derived from it is kept on this computer, protected by Windows.

The Vault folder appears. Work with its files as with any folder.

#Lock

The Vault locks automatically when you sign out and when Drime quits. When it is locked, the Vault folder is no longer on your computer.

#If it does not work

Vault files cannot get a share link or be shared from File Explorer: they stay encrypted on your device.
