Pick Obscura Photo Vault if…
It suits iOS users who want encrypted photo and video storage with local access and photo organization tools. Consider the 50-photo free limit and unrecoverable forgotten passwords before choosing a vault.
Pick Weave Vault if…
It suits Android or iOS users who want a pattern-protected place for private files, photos, and videos. Users who need recovery should keep the phrase safe, since losing it along with the pattern makes the vault unrecoverable.
