Working with vaults

Vaults are secured folders that prevent hackers and other users
from getting access to the files stored inside them. A vault
behaves just like a Windows folder; for example, you can
double-click a vault to open it and right-click it to view its various
menu options. However, unlike a regular folder the vault is
password-protected.
