When we launched Locker, we wanted it to be a private place for important information.
The kind you may not open every day, but need quickly when the moment comes. Medical records. Identity cards. Insurance papers. Travel documents. Notes and passwords your family may depend on.
We have been improving Locker around that simple idea.
Your files should be available when you need them. They should be easy to share with the right person. And they should be easier to manage when you are at a computer.
Here's what's new.
Save files for offline use
Some documents cannot wait for a good internet connection.
You can now save files in Locker for offline use on mobile. So when you are travelling, at a hospital, or somewhere with poor network, your selected files can still be opened.
Saved files stay encrypted inside Locker on your phone, so you can keep important documents close without leaving them exposed.
Share collections with links
Once your documents are organized in Locker, there are times when someone else needs access too.
You can now share a whole Locker collection with a link. This is useful for travel papers, medical files, property documents, or any group of files that belong together.
The person opening the link does not need an Ente account. They can open it in their browser and view what you shared.
You can also add a password, set an expiry, and limit how many devices can open the link.
Try Locker on web
Locker is also now available on web in beta, at locker.ente.com.
This gives you more room to review, organize, and download documents from a computer. It is helpful when you are sorting through many files or sharing a collection with someone else.
Shared collection links also open on web, including password-protected links.
Mobile keeps Locker with you. Web makes it easier to sit down and manage what matters.
Still private by design
Locker remains end-to-end encrypted.
Your files are encrypted before they leave your device. We cannot read your documents, notes, or passwords.
Offline files, collection links, and web beta all build on the same promise: a private place for the information that matters, available when you need it.
If you have not tried Locker yet, now is a good time to start.
