HeirVault vs Tresorit

Tresorit is encrypted cloud storage for collaboration and file protection. HeirVault is a digital legacy vault with check-in gated release to named beneficiaries. Overlap is encryption. The jobs diverge: sync and share now versus keep encrypted until release.

Who each is for

HeirVault

Best when you need an encrypted vault, check-ins, and named beneficiaries who claim access only after your rules are met.

Tresorit

People and teams who need encrypted sync, sharing, and admin controls for active files.

Common questions

Tresorit protects files you sync and share while working. HeirVault encrypts handoffs for beneficiaries and opens access only after missed check-ins and the waiting period. Choose storage collaboration versus timed legacy release.

Shared folders give access now. HeirVault keeps contents encrypted until your release rules are met, then routes each person to only what you designated.

No. Your live vault is protected by end-to-end encryption. It encrypts in your browser before upload, so HeirVault cannot decrypt it. HeirVault-assisted delivery stores a protected key for that beneficiary handoff only and transfers it to the beneficiary account after claim. That means assisted handoffs are not end-to-end to the beneficiary alone. Invite now and shared beneficiary passphrase delivery keep the handoff key off HeirVault servers.
