Create your Vault

Set up your Vault in the Drime web app and choose a strong Vault Pass. It cannot be recovered or changed later, so keep it somewhere safe.

Updated Web

The first time you open Vault, Drime asks you to choose a Vault Pass. This password protects the encryption keys of your Vault. It is separate from your account password, and you will type it each time you unlock the Vault.

#Create the Vault

  1. In the left rail, click Vault.

    The Create a new Vault page opens.

  2. In Create Vault Pass, type the Vault Pass you want.

    It needs at least 8 characters, and the strength meter under the field must show Strong or Very strong.

    The Create a new Vault card, with a Vault Pass typed, the strength meter on Strong and the Repeat Vault Pass field
  3. In Repeat Vault Pass, type it again.

  4. Click Create my Vault.

    Securing your Vault appears while the keys are created in your browser, then your Vault opens, already unlocked.

Your new Vault is empty and ready: add files with Upload or Create.

The new Vault open and unlocked, still empty, with the Upload and Create buttons

#Use your Vault on your other devices

You can also create a vault in the Drime mobile app: see Use your Vault on your phone. Wherever you create it, your Vault opens in the web app, in Drime Desktop for Windows and in the Drime mobile apps, with the same Vault Pass. See Vault on your computer and phone.

#If you forget your Vault Pass

Nobody can recover it. The only way out is Reset Vault, in Settings > Vault: By resetting your Vault, you will permanently delete all currently encrypted files. This action cannot be undone. See I forgot my Vault Pass.

#If it doesn't work

Message

What to do

Your pass must be at least 8 characters long.

Use a longer Vault Pass.

Use a strong pass: a vault cannot be recovered.

The meter is below Strong. Make it longer or less predictable: the meter suggests what to avoid, such as names, dates or keyboard sequences.

Passwords do not match

Type the same Vault Pass in both fields.

Failed to create vault. Please try again.

The Vault could not be created. Check your connection, then click Create my Vault again.
