How it worksSecure sharing

Secure file sharing between iPhone and Android

Share encrypted files or a vault snapshot with a separate secret. Keep your personal vault keys private across iOS and Android.

A passport scan for a family member. Personal photos for your partner. Documents for someone helping you move. Share the files they need without giving them the pattern or recovery key to your own vault.

A separate key for every share

Revault creates a new share key and secret on your device. By default, it wraps only the selected file-version keys under that share key and transfers their existing encrypted contents. This avoids re-encrypting large files while keeping your vault master key private. Extra isolation can create fresh encrypted file contents when you choose it.

One invitation, a private secret

Send the invitation link to your recipient, then pass the decryption secret through a separate private channel. The link opens Revault’s shared-vault flow. Recipients enter that secret, without your personal pattern or a Revault account, and see an isolated shared vault.

Choose the right sharing route

Controlled shares use Revault’s server on both platforms, including iPhone-to-iPhone when you need access limits or expiry. iOS also offers private, read-only CloudKit invitations between Apple accounts. Those CloudKit invitations do not enforce access counts or automatic expiry.

Share a snapshot, keep your private organization

Recipients receive the files captured when you create the share. Later edits to your source vault are not synced into it. Folder membership, tags, and favourite status are omitted from the shared file metadata. Deleting the original file does not revoke the separate share; manage the invitation itself.
