Protect your OneDrive files in Personal Vault
Personal Vault is a secure location in OneDrive where you can keep your most essential or sensitive files and photographs while still having access from anywhere.

This adds an extra layer of security to your locked files in Personal Vault, making them more secure in the event that someone gains access to your account or device.
Important:
Personal Vault is only accessible in the OneDrive home and personal plans; it is not available in the OneDrive for business, work, or student plans.
