Controlled export

NullVault exports only when you deliberately choose content and a destination. The exported copy is decrypted and is no longer protected by its NullVault pattern once it leaves the vault.

The feature

Why it matters

Export selected content deliberately, with a clear warning that the decrypted destination copy is outside NullVault's protection.

01

A visible crossing of the boundary

Export is useful precisely because encrypted vault data sometimes needs to become an ordinary file again—for editing, printing, submitting, or transferring through a tool you trust. NullVault makes that a selected action rather than an automatic synchronization path.

Before export, the item is governed by its vault session. After export, the receiving app, document provider, gallery, and any connected cloud service control the new copy.

02

Choose the smallest useful disclosure

Export only the items needed for the task and review the destination before confirming. Where a platform supports batch export, convenience increases the importance of checking the selection carefully.

Deleting a later NullVault item does not recall exported copies. Sharing restrictions in the iOS connected-sharing feature can govern the normal recipient interface, but cannot erase a copy that was already made.

Available now

Explicit export of selected vault items is available on iPhone.

  • Export is initiated from an authorized vault session and uses an explicit destination flow.
  • Protected temporary work and cancellation are tied to the session lifecycle.
  • Owners can separately decide whether recipients may export from an iOS shared vault.

Available on Android

Available now

Single and multi-select content export are available on Android.

  • Select exportable photos, videos, or files from the current vault or collection.
  • Choose a compatible Android document destination for the decrypted copies.
  • Notes remain inside NullVault rather than being represented as arbitrary file exports in the current gallery flow.

Questions about this feature

Is an exported file still protected by my NullVault pattern?

No. Export produces a decrypted copy at the chosen destination; that copy follows the destination's protections.

Can NullVault recall something I exported?

No. NullVault cannot remotely revoke an ordinary copy that has left the vault.

Can I export more than one item?

Yes. Both apps support deliberate export of selected content. Export creates a decrypted copy outside NullVault's protection.
