Encrypted cloud storage for your vaults

No. Files are encrypted on your device, in the Android app or the browser, before upload (AES-256-GCM, in 16 MiB parts). The keys never reach our servers. The server keeps ciphertext, sizes and dates only, and file names and folders are encrypted too.

Nobody can recover them, MyNoteVault included. You need both the access file, named MyNoteVault-<Vault ID>.vaultkey, and your secret phrase to open your files, and without both they can’t be decrypted by anyone. Keep the access file in at least two safe places, and keep the phrase somewhere safe too, such as a password manager.

Open My NoteVault on your Android phone, open your vault and go to the Cloud Space tab. Choose to connect, pick your access file and enter your secret phrase. You can then upload vault files, preview them and import them back into a vault.

Yes. Open space.mynotevault.in in a modern browser and sign in with your access file and secret phrase, or scan a QR code with your phone: choose Sign in with your phone on the site, then in the app open Devices and activity and choose Link a browser. You can upload, preview and download files, and use folders, rename, move and sort. There is nothing to install, and the site is in the app’s 13 languages.

Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox manage the encryption keys for your files by default (see Google, Microsoft and Dropbox), so their systems can open the files. That is how features such as Gemini in Drive and Copilot in OneDrive can work on them. In Cloud Space the keys never reach our servers, so we can’t read your files and have no such feature. The trade-off: no sharing links, no search inside files and no password reset. Read the full comparison, with sources.

One Android phone (the My NoteVault app) and one browser can be connected at a time, and you can remove either at any time. The activity history, which covers sign-ins, uploads and device changes, can’t be edited or deleted.

Uploads stop, and your files stay readable and downloadable for 30 days, so download anything you want to keep in that time. Nothing renews automatically. Renewing adds another year of the same size to the end date.

It doesn’t stream files (they are decrypted whole in the browser), sync or upload in the background, back up whole folders by itself, make sharing links, search inside files or reset a forgotten phrase. There is no desktop or iOS app.
