Your devices hold plenty of everyday files, but contracts, tax records, financial documents, IDs and other important paperwork deserve a super-secure storage place — preferably one that doesn’t come with yet another recurring bill.
For just $39.99 (regularly $499), you can lock in lifetime access to 500GB of Vault cloud storage. It’s specifically designed for long-term document storage with an emphasis on keeping your files as secure as possible.
Vault offers secure cloud storage
Cloud storage makes it ridiculously easy to keep thousands of files online, but that convenience comes with a catch: Important documents can end up scattered across services designed for syncing photos and files.
Vault takes a different approach, positioning itself as a digital filing cabinet that safeguards the sensitive paperwork you might need years from now. It’s built on browser-side encryption and a zero-knowledge architecture to keep the contents private.
How it works to keep your files secure
Before you upload anything to Vault, the files are encrypted directly in your browser using AES-GCM-256 encryption. That means the cloud stores encrypted data rather than the readable contents of your documents.
There’s also an interesting departure from the usual username-and-password routine. A unique 12-word recovery phrase that you control protects everything in your Vault.
Once you store your documents there, search, tags and notes help keep everything organized. Need to give someone access? Revocable access keys let you securely share individual documents or Vault access. And you aren’t locked in: An Export All feature lets you download your stored files whenever you need to.
Because you access Vault through compatible web browsers, with no software installation required, your secure storage works across devices. That’s handy when your personal tech lineup includes an iPhone, iPad, Mac, PC and/or some combination of the three.
There are a few upload limits worth knowing. Individual files can be up to 200 MiB, with standard limits of 30 files per rolling hour, five upload requests per minute, and two concurrent uploads per user. There’s no daily upload-volume quota.
Supported formats include PDF, DOCX, DOC, ODT, RTF, TXT, Markdown, CSV, JSON, XML and log files. It probably goes without saying, but Vault won’t delete your files if you don’t access them for a while.
Save on Vault encrypted cloud storage
For Apple users who already know exactly where their important documents should live, Vault isn’t about buying more storage just because it’s cheap. It’s about owning a dedicated, encrypted 500GB secure storage space for the files you intend to keep.
