This was applied to my account last week, I live in NZ. Now You: What is your take on the Personal Vault feature? It could be used to place an archive of important files inside OneDrive that you need to access rarely if at all, and it may be good if you have just one, two or three files that you want to protect better. The three file limit makes it unusable for most OneDrive users who are not subscribed to Office 365. That's good if the device is not fully encrypted as it protects access to these files.  The other advantage is that it puts another barrier in place for users with access to the PC. One of the advantages is that Microsoft uses BitLocker to protect files synced to a PC running Windows 10. There are not that many use cases for OneDrive's Personal Vault feature especially if you have set up your Microsoft account to use two-factor authentication. Personal Vault appears as a shortcut in the file listing of the OneDrive folder when you have enabled synchronziation on the desktop when you use mobile apps, you will see it in the folder listing. The files and folders are not moved but you get a prompt that reminds you that you will lose access to these if you proceed with the disabling.
email addresses or phone numbers.Ī click on disable shuts down the vault and deletes all files and folders that it contained permanently. Activation of the latter displays the account's security settings and options to add or remove identifiers, e.g. The vault settings display an option to disable the vault and to manage vault settings. Non-Office 365 subscribers see the file limit there as well but since it is three files, it is not really helpful as it is easy enough to count the files manually. Items that need to be shared need to be moved out of the vault first.Ī click on the vault icon next to "Sort" displays options to open the Personal Vault settings and to lock the vault manually. There is even a share option when you select files but when you activate it you are reminded that the items are private and cannot be shared because of that. You can download them, rename them or open them just like any other file on OneDrive.
You may also upload files from the local system or use the new file option to create blank files in the vault directly.Īll files and folders that you put into the vault are accessible by your account. Select the "move files" option to move files or folders that are stored on OneDrive into the vault. It is not super-practical on the other hand as you'd limit accessibility in doing so. One option to go around the limit is to use archives instead of individual files. There is no file limit for Office 365 subscribers.
Note: Non-Office 365 subscribers may store up to three files in the Personal Vault.
