Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Drive Shadow Lock
How secure is Drive Shadow Lock?
Your passwords are hashed using industry-standard encryption. We never store your original file—it stays in your Google Drive. The protected link acts as a secure gateway that requires the password to access.
Do you store my files?
No, we never store your files. All files remain in your Google Drive account. Drive Shadow Lock only creates a secure access layer that requires a password to view the file.
Can I change the password after creating the link?
Currently, you'll need to create a new protected link with a new password. The old link will continue to work with the original password until it expires.

After the expiry date, the protected link becomes inaccessible. Recipients will see an error message. You can always create a new protected link if you need to extend access.
