How to use

Install the iStorage companion app on an Android or iOS smartphone and pair the datAshur BT with the device via the encrypted Bluetooth channel. Use the app to configure the user authentication method: enter a 7–15 character password or enable biometric unlock through the phone. Insert the USB drive into a host device’s USB Type-A port; the drive remains locked until authenticated via the paired smartphone or by entering the password when prompted. Once unlocked, the drive functions as standard USB mass storage for reading and writing files. Remove the drive and it will lock automatically according to device settings or after a manual lock command.

Usage recommendations

Keep the companion app up to date and maintain a secure, unique password in addition to biometric setup. For regulatory compliance, store sensitive files only on the encrypted drive and avoid copying unencrypted backups to insecure locations. When not in use, store the drive separately from devices used for authentication to reduce risk of unauthorized access.
