Why Oten Drive

Most "secure" storage tools force a bad trade. Either the provider holds your keys (convenient, but they — or anyone who compels them — can read your files), or the tool is fully offline (safe, but no sync and no multi-device). Oten Drive is built to give you both strong client-side encryption and a synchronized, multi-device experience.

The problems it solves

• "The provider can read my files." With cloud-managed keys, a breach, a rogue insider, or a legal order can expose your data. Oten Drive is zero-knowledge — the server never holds a key or a plaintext byte, so there is nothing to hand over.

• "I might be forced to open it." Ordinary encryption can't help when someone is standing over you demanding the password. Shadow Layers let you reveal a believable decoy while the sensitive data stays hidden and unprovable.

• "My device could be seized or stolen." Files are encrypted at rest and auto-lock on crash or exit. Panic lets you lock and hide everything in one action, even offline.

• "I work across a laptop and a phone." Your vaults sync via Oten Cloud with conflict-aware versioning, and you restore them on a new device with your own recovery keys — no server-side key escrow.

Who it's for

The trade-off, stated plainly

Because only you hold the keys, Oten cannot recover your data for you. Lose your passwords and your recovery keys and the data is gone for good. That limitation is exactly what makes the privacy trustworthy — see How your data is protected.
