Transfer a Drive
What you'll do: Move or reassign your Drive to another device or owner, while your Vault data stays isolated and intact.
Why it matters: Under the separated Drive & Vault model, your everyday Drive and your security-first Vaults are handled independently. Transferring a Drive lets you hand off or relocate everyday storage without touching Vault contents.
Steps
Open the Drive's actions and choose Transfer Drive.
Follow the prompts to reassign the Drive to the target device or account.
Confirm. The Drive moves; Vault data remains isolated and is not affected by the transfer.
On the receiving side, sign in and open the Drive to access it.
Good to know
Restore vs transfer. To simply set up your own Drive on a new device, use Add a new device with your User Recovery Key. Transfer is for reassigning ownership/location.
Restore Drive with User Key. Under the separated model you can restore Drive access using your personal User Key, preserving end-to-end encryption.
Sync state for Drive and Vault is tracked separately, so each shows its own real-time status.
Common mistakes
Assuming a Drive transfer moves your Vaults too. It doesn't — Vaults are independent by design.
Transferring without confirming sync completed, leaving the destination without the latest data.
