Using Multiple Databases

Back to Table of Contents

Safe + allows the use of multiple databases. You can manage these in the File menu.

Safe + remembers the last database used, you can switch between the databases when loggin in and in the File menu.

To create or delete databases, you must be logged into the main database. The main database is therefore always required!

We recommend using as many databases as necessary and as few as possible. Reasons for multiple databases are to share them with other people or to use different master passwords (which are still required even when using Touch ID!).
It is also advantageous to divide large libraries of photos or videos into one or more separate databases.

You can share a database using Wi-Fi synchronization or backups, in both cases the master password is also shared. It is therefore important to use different master passwords for databases!

To transfer data from an existing database, create a backup in the existing database and restore it in the new database.

If you restore a new database from a backup, the master password of the database from which the backup originates is also adopted. It is therefore necessary to change the master password in the new database after the restore!
