How to attach Files to Secrets​

SecretShield can handle small file attachments, making it ideal for storing short sensitive documents.

For larger files such as videos or images, it’s recommended to encrypt and store them on a secure platform, and use SecretShield to store the decryption key or password.

  1. Open the app storing your file or attachment such as the Files app, iCloud or Google Drive and select the item you’d like to add to Secret Shield.
  2. Select the content and then select the tap to share button or select share from the respective app's menu item.
  3. From the share view that appears, select SecretShield from the apps displayed.
  4. In SecretShield, continue to create the secret like any other such as providing a name, a value for the secret, selecting guardians, and saving.
Note

SecretShield supports attaching multiple files at the same time. An app such as Files app, iCloud or Google Drive allows multiple selection before tapping the share button and selecting SecretShield from the activity view.
