Share a Vault

What you'll do: Share an entire vault — the whole encrypted container — with other people.

Why it matters: When collaborators need everything in a container (a full case file, a project set), vault sharing gives them the whole thing under the same password/expiration/role controls, without exposing plaintext to the server.

Steps

1. Open the vault and choose Share vault (also available from the macOS Finder context menu, in place).

2. Add recipients — up to 5.

3. Set a share password and an expiration date.

4. Assign roles — Viewer or Editor — per recipient.

5. Confirm. Recipients can lock/unlock the shared vault consistently, and structural/config changes sync to them.

Common mistakes

• Sharing a vault that contains a sensitive Shadow Layer. Think about which layer's data is in scope before sharing — sharing exposes the layer's files to recipients.

• Forgetting to revoke. Review shares periodically and clear expired ones.

Manage shares (list, revoke, update expiration, add/remove recipients) the same way as file/folder shares.
