iOS & Files tips

Status: The iOS app is in final testing (TestFlight). Details below reflect the MVP and may change before general release.

On iPhone, Oten Drive integrates with the system Files app through a File Provider, so encrypted vaults appear as a location you browse like any other.

Files app integration

  • Unlock a vault in the Oten Drive app so it mounts as a location in Files.

  • Inside Files you can view, create, rename, delete, copy/move, and compress files and folders — every operation runs through the encryption layer.

  • Preview supported file types directly; search files and folders by name.

  • Edit a file's content and the app persists a new encrypted version.

Unlock & security

  • Unlock a drive with its password, or with Face ID if you've enabled it in Settings.

  • A device PIN gates the app after you kill it or log out.

  • Panic is available on iOS too, running your saved configuration; an administrator can also push a Panic action to your device.

Managing vaults on iOS

  • My Drive lists your drives/vaults; you can create a drive, create a Shadow Layer, lock/unlock, change password, and remove (Hide / Delete local / Delete all).

  • Toggle per-vault sync on or off.

  • Restore your vaults after a reset by importing your User Recovery Key.

Settings

  • Log out, enable Face ID, and switch the app language from Settings.
