As a new user I'm realising that sharing vaults isn't easy to configure. I've had one support item open but not really got answers.  I thought I'd ask a few basic questions here.

As I understand it, I can only have 1 vault per cloud account AND sharing Primary vault isn't allowed. 
I therefore need to have a second cloud provider and account in order to set up a secondary vault.  ie. A different account on the same cloud (eg Dropbox) as the primary vault, is NOT allowed.  
Are the above statements correct ? 

 

If they are, and given I already actively use Dropbox and Onedrive and Icloud - and NEITHER of the accounts are shareable in that my wife ALSO uses those same providers independently, and we share folders. Am I correct in saying that enpass is incapable of utilising the Cloud folders that are shared and requires a separate shared cloud account UID/Login and a shared Vault password. The cloud account being from a cloud provider DIFFERENT from the cloud used for each persons Primary vault.   
Therefore to have a shared Vault I will need to find a 4th Cloud provider.  I don't use GoogleDrive but I do use and have a Google Account that is NOT shareable. So I'm running out of Cloud providers to set up a standalone single app access cloud where we can share a login. FOR FREE !!.   
Is this correct? 


If not please advise what I am missing.  I had hoped to use a shared dropbox login, but I am unable to set up a vault on a second Dropbox account from the enpass desktop(windows). It tells me I need a different cloud account.   

Having bought and paid for this family licence, and moving over from 1password, I was hoping for a simpler scenario.  I'm embarrassed to say I didn't do as much homework as I thought and had NOT realised the restrictions on sharing.  ie. The actual LOGIN must be shared.  All Cloud providers allow the sharing of folders but enpass cannot utilise that feature. Crazy eh!! 

THE GOAL. 
To have my wife and I to have access via iphone and Laptops, to a common shared vault. And to be able to sync across ALL as required. ie. if she changes a p/word then I can see the change. Simples - you'd think.  Basic you'd think.  I'm struggling.   

AND
Given ALL cloud providers need 2 phase authentication when you login.  If we share a cloud account.  How do we BOTH acknowledge the 2 phase authentication.  Is this an issue or does the Enpass login bypass this somehow?

To clarify:

  • Your first understanding is incorrect - you can create multiple vaults with the same Enpass account, but each cloud account can sync only one vault. The Primary vault can also be shared.

  • Your second understanding is correct - for sharing, all users must use the same cloud account credentials and the vault password. Enpass does not support shared folders within a cloud provider.

To share a vault:

  1. Create a new vault in Enpass and sync it with a separate cloud account (can be Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive).

  2. Share that cloud login and vault password with your wife.

  3. She can then add the vault in Enpass → Settings → Vaults → Add new vault → Restore from cloud.

About 2FA:
Each user will need to complete 2FA once when first signing in. After Enpass is authorized, 2FA won’t be required again unless the connection is reset.

We understand it’s not as simple as expected, and we appreciate your honest feedback. Please let me know if you’d like help setting up the shared vault step-by-step.
