# Import Documents

## Let's protect documents

Log in to your Vault and select :heavy\_plus\_sign: in the bottom right. Tap *Import & Encrypt files*.

Swipe right or select the **Files tab**. Select any folder or document you'd like to add to your Private Vault. Submit your selection with the *Import Button* at the bottom.

**Tip:** Select a folder to import containing files and sub-folders. Privary will keep the original directory structure.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
**Top Tip:** Send a document from any other app to Privary to import it directly. For example from a file manager app
{% endhint %}

## Open a document

Select the document from your Vault and tap on open. Privary opens PDF or TXT documents with the internal reader. Press for a second on the Open-Button to open the file with an external app.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you can't open a document for some reason, for example a PDF or TXT, simply open the Google Play Store and look for an app that can handle the file type
{% endhint %}

Mind that Privary doesn't grant access to your encrypted files. If you change a file from outside Privary, just reimport that to have the changed file securely stored inside your Vault.
