The Simplest and easiest way is to upload it to the DropBox, but recently we heard that most of the DropBox accounts were compromised and besides you need an active internet connection to visit DropBox everytime, and you don’t want to feel embarrassed while you want to show someone something good and you can’t simply because you don’t have an active internet connection. In such cases, some of the 3rd party apps comes in handy, now on Android, you’ll find plenty of them, however, on iOS you have the iVault, which is available in both free and paid versions, of course paid version won’t disturb you with ads and pop-ups, while the free version won’t let you go without them. Without further ado, let’s see how we can use this iVault.

Download, install and launch iVault.
Assign a Password and continue, make sure to remember it, otherwise you gotta say goodbye to your Data.
Now Create a folder using iVault and Tap the + button.

You can even import photos directly after taking them, even from a Bluetooth.

You an even import Files from your computer as this app features that too.
Connect your device and PC to the Same Network.
Open Browser on your PC.
Enter the address that the app is telling you.

Choose the Files you want and Tap Upload to Sync them.
The best part is, that the Sync apps will exclusively be seen in iVault folder only, no other app has any access to it.
When you no longer need the files to be private, just tap the Share button.
