RevaultSet a deadline, limit access sessions, and start an optional self-destruction timer after first access. Share private files with a defined access window.
Download RevaultSecurity modelSome files are useful for an afternoon, not forever. A temporary document handoff or a private collection can have a clear endpoint. Revault’s controlled shares combine encryption with server-enforced limits on future access.
Choose an expiry within 30 days when creating a controlled share. The service stops granting access after that deadline whether anyone has opened it or not. You can also revoke the share earlier. These controls apply to the shared snapshot, not the files in your personal vault.
The optional self-destruction timer starts when the server first grants an access session, before successful decryption is confirmed. All recipients share the same deadline. Reopening does not reset it, and the earlier of this deadline and the original expiry ends access.
Set a maximum number of access sessions or leave sessions unlimited until expiry. The server counts granted sessions, rather than individual file views or identified recipients. Retrying with the same valid session token does not consume another access. A session lasts at most 15 minutes and never beyond the share’s deadline.
Allow recipients to save an encrypted .qvault copy, or disable the app’s export actions for a temporary viewing flow. Exported copies open with the share secret and can remain usable after the invitation expires. Disabling export does not prevent screen capture or a modified client from retaining data.
Your vault pattern, recovery key, and vault master key are never included in a share. The service receives encrypted file data and operational metadata such as sizes, checksums, timestamps, and access-session counts. The separate decryption secret is not uploaded.
Share encrypted files or a vault snapshot with a separate secret. Keep your personal vault keys private across iOS and Android.
