Create a new vault

Das Bild zeigt ein Symbol, das einen hellblauen Umriss eines Dokuments darstellt. Auf dem Dokument befinden sich drei horizontale Linien, die jeweils von einem Häkchen begleitet werden. Diese Häkchen sind ebenfalls hellblau und symbolisieren eine Checkliste.

To create a vault, proceed as follows:

Step 1

Navigate to the vault list and click on the ‘Add’ > ‘Create new’ button in the top right-hand corner.

Step 2

Enter a vault name and optionally a vault description.

Then click on continue.

Step 3

The recovery key of the vault is displayed. It can enable access to the vault data in an emergency, e.g. if Cryptomator Hub fails.

Save the recovery key in a safe place.

Then tick the checkbox.

Finally, click on ‘Create vault’.

Step 4

The setup is complete.

Once the setup is complete, you can download the vault template (zip file) and store it in your desired synchronised storage location. You can unlock the vault with Cryptomator to store data in it. If you skip this step, you can download the template later.
