If you subscribe to Dashlane Premium, you can keep important files in Secure File Storage. No one else can access the files, and they are safely stored.
Secure File Storage uses the same powerful encryption and security infrastructure that protects your passwords and Secure Notes to store files in your Dashlane app.
Wherever you have access to your devices, you can access the files. Because Dashlane backs up your encrypted data, you never have to worry about losing files.
IMPORTANT: For now, Secure File Storage in the web app is available only on Chrome, Edge, and other Chromium browsers such as Opera, Brave, and Vivaldi. Secure File Storage will be available on Firefox sometime in the coming months. Rest assured that your files are safe, and you can manage them from our mobile apps or in another browser until they're available on Firefox. If you use Safari, you can also manage secure files using the new Dashlane app for Safari. Be sure to check out the steps to install the Safari app and the minimum requirements for each app.

You can store up to 1 GB of files within your account. Individual files are currently limited to less than 50 MB in size.
For security reasons, we currently don't allow you to preview attachments within Dashlane. To view them, you need to download them.
For now, you can't share Secure Notes that have files attached or attach files to shared Secure Notes. Files attached to Secure Notes are also not included in DASH exports.
If you no longer subscribe to Dashlane Premium or your Premium trial has ended, you can keep any previously created secure files but can't add new ones.
