Note

Be sure to save the private key and store it at a secure location (e.g. in a safe). Make a backup of this key. Without the private key you cannot open any files, e.g. when the web browser was reinstalled.

The private key is never sent to the server. The private key cannot be restored.

In case this key is lost, you have to create a new one. However, you only can access files encrypted for your old key when

  • You re-upload the files
  • Another user who shared an encrypted folder with you re-encrypts it for your new key.
