Use your Vault on your phone

The Vault tab of the Drime app opens your end-to-end encrypted Vault. Your files are decrypted on your phone with your Vault Pass, as on the web.

#Create a vault, or open yours

If you have no vault yet, the Vault tab offers Create a new Vault. Choose a Vault Pass of at least 8 characters: a gauge shows its strength. Then tap Create Vault.

If you already have a vault, created on the web or on another phone, open the Vault tab and unlock it with its Vault Pass.

#Several vaults

You can have several vaults, each with its own Vault Pass. Your plan sets how many. To go from one to another, tap Switch Vault. To add one, tap New Vault.

In a workspace, members open the workspace's vault, and only the workspace owner can create one.

From the vault switcher, you can also rename a vault (up to 60 characters), change its colour, lock it, or delete it once it is empty.

#Unlock faster with a PIN

1. Unlock your vault with its Vault Pass.

   The app then offers to set a Vault PIN.

2. Choose a PIN of 4 to 12 digits.

3. To unlock with your fingerprint as well, turn on Unlock with fingerprint.

In recent versions of the app, each vault has its own PIN. After 5 wrong PINs, the PIN is removed: unlock with your Vault Pass, then set a new PIN.

#Choose when the vault locks

Your vault locks itself after 15 minutes by default. To change this, go to Settings > Vault auto-lock. You can choose 1, 5, 15 or 30 minutes, 1 hour, or never.

#Manage your Vault files

In your vault, you can:

• create folders, add files and photos from your phone, create a text file, scan a document or take a photo;

• open files, edit text files, and use Open with to open a file in another app;

• rename, move, download and delete files.

Deleted files go to the Vault trash.

#What the app does not do in the Vault

• You cannot share a Vault file or create a link from the app.

• Photos are not backed up to the Vault automatically: automatic photo backup goes to your Drive.

• You cannot upload a whole folder into the Vault.
