Advanced protection
If someone makes you open it, they see something else.
Give your drives a second password. If you’re ever forced to unlock — by a thief, an abusive partner, anyone — that password opens a separate everyday drive instead, and your other drives stay locked.
- One extra password, set up in a minute
- Nothing on screen shows which password was used
- On the Professional and Power plans

How to set it up
Set it up once. Hope you never need it.
Turn it on
On the Security page, switch on Advanced protection. It takes a minute.
Choose a second password
Give the everyday drive a name and its own password — one you could hand over.
Make it look lived in
Put ordinary photos and documents in it, so it looks like a real drive.
Test it safely
Check which drive a password would open, without switching anything on.
Every unlock looks the same.
You type a password into the same box as always. The real one opens your drive; the second one opens the everyday drive. Whoever is watching sees an ordinary drive open.
Clear about what it does.
The app explains exactly how Advanced protection works before you switch it on — and reminds you to keep the second password to yourself.
Questions
About Advanced protection.
Which plans include Advanced protection?
Professional and Power.
Can someone tell which password I used?
Nothing on screen says which password opened the drive. The everyday drive looks and works like any other drive.
Does it work on any drive?
Yes. Enter the second password on any of your drives and the everyday drive opens in its place.
Is this legal?
It is a technical feature, not legal advice. The law in some countries requires you to disclose passwords. Know your local law.
