This should put it more in line with modern requirements and make it more attractive to customers. However, it’s worth noting that both this and the new feature are undergoing a phased rollout, so you may not see the extra just yet. Speaking of Personal Vault, we now know a little more about how it will work. It can be likened to a highly secure safe inside your home. You have the regular door, which is your OneDrive account password and two-factor, then an additional layer around your most important or private files. This can be secured with a PIN, fingerprint, face, or email/SMS code. Everything from the vault is synced to a BitLocker encrypted area of the hard drive and will re-lock with your PC or after 20 minutes of inactivity. Though some users may wonder what they’d use the feature for, there are a variety of wide-ranging uses. For example, it’s a good idea for anyone to make a copy of their passport and driving license. Occasionally, apps also ask for a picture of your bank card for verification. Meanwhile, it could serve as a private area if you share your OneDrive account. Personal Vault was first announced last month so it’s great to see it rolling out already. The storage plan brings it in-line with Google Drive, which also offers 100GB for $2.
