What's New

You can now upload and unlock password-protected files directly in Vault, enabling more seamless work with sensitive documents. With this update, you can:

  • Upload password-protected files in Vault
  • Enter individual passwords per file, or bulk-apply one password to all uploaded files
  • Eliminate upload failures caused by password-protected documents

Why It Matters

Previously, encrypted files would fail to upload in Vault—creating workflow blockers, especially for teams working with sensitive financial, legal, or client-protected documents.

This enhancement ensures encrypted materials remain secure while still being accessible for authorized work.

  • Quickly identify encrypted files + unlock them directly within Harvey
  • Continue research, analysis, and drafting without interruption

FAQs

Q: What happens when I upload a password-protected file to Vault?

Harvey will detect that the file is encrypted and prompt you to enter the password. Once entered, the file will be decrypted and available for use in Vault.

Q: Does Harvey store my file passwords?

No. Harvey will not store, remember, or retain file passwords. If you upload the same encrypted file again, you will need to re-enter the password.

Q: Can I unlock multiple encrypted files at once?

Yes. If you upload multiple password-protected files, you will be able to enter passwords individually for each file or use a single password to unlock all files when they share the same password.
