Then a panel appears with a set of pre-created folders with the types of logical names that a user might need, like Business, Finance, IDs, Photos and others.

Once a password is entered there is one more button to press, Set, and the confirmation is sent to the server. A password like (I made this up) would be stronger. As the password is entered an indicator will change from red to green to show the password strength. There is no account name: all a user is asked to do is to enter a password and confirm (by entering a second time). At the end of the introduction, for new users there is a button in the bottom center marked 'Start now and set password'.

At the bottom of the pages are two buttons: Link with account, for those who are already signed up and Load Settings. Similar information is found on the website for the app.

On the Mac DocWallet opens with a series of 5 screens - all in that lovely black and gold - that give a quick run-down of the app and its purpose. Start with one and then follow with the other. I tried to set up the two devices (Mac and iPad) together: that is wrong. Setting up the app on the Mac and the iPad was not instinctive and follows a fairly strict procedure - again for reasons of security.

The need for passwords and reentering these often, makes this a touch fiddly at times, but if you need a secure app, it is pointless leaving it open. DocWallet may not quite fill my requirements, but it is an interesting alternative that is sure to suit some users. To make the device synchronisation work, however, does require an in-app payment of $10.99 for three devices for one year, or unlimited devices for $21.99. I have been searching for alternatives to iCloud and Dropbox as I just want to synchronise between devices and not store lots of data online. There is a useful wrinkle to this as with the app installed on another device the data can be synchronised between the devices. Any files put into a folder in the application are encrypted and kept safe with only the user knowing the password.

There are versions for PC and iPad as well and more information on these is on the DocWallet website. Initially, it appeared to be a secure repository on the Mac for documents and photographs. It has a neat icon and as it was marked as free, I took a closer look. In the 'Featured' section, DocWallet appeared not long ago. I have been looking at the App Store a lot in the last few days as I tried to sort out a problem with updates not showing up. I first noticed the Deutsche Post DocWallet application in the Mac App Store. Deutsche Post have also been hard at work on something else. Deutsche Post does have an app that provides a number of useful services (like the USPS) app, although it is not available here (for obvious reasons) although DHL, a business partner, does have a number of apps that can be downloaded in the Thai iTunes app store. While the USPS has an app to provide customers with information, and Britain's Royal Mail has web information accessible from a smartphone, Swiss Post has a tracking service like UPS or FedEx. Post Offices are not all that quick to catch up with technology these days, Deutsche Post have one answer in a standalone app for computer or iPad that also synchronises between devices. With the recent PRISM controversy in the United States - that may affect all of us - concerning the access to email and other online services, there may be a need for secure document synchronisations. The greater efficiency of courier services as well as the ease of the internet has left most postal services reeling while trying to reinvent themselves. The way consumers and businesses handle documents has changed in the last few years. Users do not have to synchronise manually.DocWallet: Secure File Repository for Mac, PC and iPad that Also Synchronises Data Unlike DocWallet, the data in these folders are monitored and synchronised by TeamDrive automatically. This guarantees that only users who are allowed to see saved data will have access. You can grant different rights for the Spaces and for each individual user. With TeamDrive you can convert as many folders as you want, including all subfolders and files, into a TeamDrive Space. TeamDrive offers these same functions but is also a handy tool for collaboration and data security. How is TeamDrive different from DocWallet?ĭocWallet is a file manager for documents that are synchronised across multiple devices.

The document manager is a piece of software provided by Deutsche Post AG, which will be shut down on 31 December 2018.

The application itself is also password-protected. Data are only decrypted after being downloaded. The documents are encrypted directly on your device using an application and then uploaded to the server. DocWallet is a document manager that allows you to securely synchronise documents across your PC, tablet and smartphone.
