# Daily Use

**Q. What's the difference between a Drive and a Vault?** A. **Drive** is your everyday encrypted storage (one per user, unlocked by your device PIN, shares individual files/folders). **Vault** is a security-first container (many per user, unlocked by a password, supports Shadow Layers, shared whole). See [Drive vs Vault](https://file+.vscode-resource.vscode-cdn.net/Users/mando/Silver%20Tiger/stealth-vault/product-docs/user-guide/concepts-in-1-minute/drive-vs-vault.md).

**Q. What file types can I store?** A. Any file type. Everything is encrypted the same way regardless of format.

**Q. How do I open a file?** A. On macOS, double-click it in Finder (unlock the vault first). On iOS, browse to it in the Files app. It's decrypted on-demand and opens in its default app.

**Q. Do I have to save or "encrypt" manually?** A. No. Anything placed in your Drive or an unlocked vault is encrypted automatically. Writes are integrity-protected.

**Q. My vault has a lot of files and feels slow.** A. Use **Load more** to page through large drives. Recent releases also improved browsing and open speed.

**Q. What languages and themes are available?** A. macOS ships in 6 languages (English, Vietnamese, Spanish, French, German, Chinese) with Dark and Light modes.

**Q. How much storage do I get?** A. Free accounts include a **5 GB** Drive quota.

**Q. How do I get updates on macOS?** A. Through **Sparkle** — you'll be offered *Install new version* / *Remind me later*, with force-update for critical releases.
