Vult
The Only Drive Built for Privacy, Security, and Control
Züs Vult offers a secure, private drive that gives users complete control over your data. With distributed storage, Züs Vult makes your files invisible to unauthorized access, including government agencies.
Unlike other platforms, Vult fragments your data across multiple locations, safeguarding it from hacks, breaches, and ransomware attacks. Vult integrates proxy re-encryption technology, allowing users to encrypt and share files with friends and family easily.
Key Features of Vult
