Extension summary

Ever wanted to encrypt files on your chromebook? Now is the time!

With ShadyVault, you can easily open an encrypted folder just like a regular one.

However, the decrypted files only exist in-memory! This means, that they are automatically wiped as soon as you close the folder or shutdown the system.

-> Built-in security without the hassle of manually encrypting every file.

Have fun with it!
