Attach files to an entry

Keep encrypted files, like a passport scan or a licence key, with a login, card or note.

Any entry can hold files. Bramble encrypts each file on your device, the same way it encrypts your passwords.

Add a file

  1. Save the entry, then open it.
  2. Under Attachments, choose Attach a file and pick the file.

Each file can be up to 90 MB. Bramble shows Encrypting… while it works.

In the browser extension’s toolbar popup, choose Popout to window to attach files first. The popup closes when the file picker opens, so Bramble continues in a window.

Open a file

Choose the open button next to the file.

  • Browser extension: the file downloads to your computer.
  • Phone: the share sheet opens, so you can view it or save it to another app.
  • Desktop app: the file opens in its usual app.

On a phone and in the desktop app, Bramble deletes its unencrypted copy when your vault locks.

Remove a file

Choose the bin button next to the file, then Remove. Deleting an entry removes its files too.

Find entries with files

When any entry has a file, a paperclip button appears next to Sort above your list. Choose it to show only items with attachments. Search doesn’t look inside file names.

Sync

Files sync to every device in your vault’s sync group. They move between your devices end-to-end encrypted, and no server keeps a copy, so a file arrives only while a device that has it is online and unlocked. Until then, the file shows why it isn’t there yet, for example Not on this device yet. Waiting for a device that has it.

Backups always include every file.
