Yes! Digital Shell is a complete secure vault with zero-knowledge encryption. Store passwords, API keys, documents, SSH keys — everything. The difference: when you share, you get full accountability with view tracking and watermarking.
Yes! Share files with watermarking on the free tier. Bitwarden requires Premium ($10/year) just to send files. Digital Shell includes document storage, sharing, and watermarking at no extra cost.
With Digital Shell, yes — see exactly who viewed (name, email), when (timestamp), and from where (device, location). Bitwarden Send only shows access count — you'll never know WHO actually viewed your data.
Digital Shell can be your primary vault. If you want open-source or self-hosting, Bitwarden is great for that. Many users store sensitive data in Digital Shell for the tracking features and use Bitwarden for less critical passwords.
