We understand that not being able to access your data can be stressful, but rest assured that Hive is designed to keep your files safe and secure. Let's explore what might cause data retrieval issues and how we can help you resolve them.

Possible reasons for data retrieval issues

  1. Forgotten passphrase: Hive has a zero-knowledge policy, meaning your passphrase is used to encrypt and decrypt your data. If you lose your passphrase, Hive cannot recover it for you, as we never store or have access to it. That's why it's crucial to keep your passphrase safe and memorable.

  2. Technical issues with the hiveDisk app: In rare cases, you may experience a technical problem with the hiveDisk app that prevents you from accessing your files.

How Hive can help

If you encounter a problem accessing your files, the best way for us to assist you is by providing more details about what happened. Here's what you can do:

  1. Determine if the issue is related to your passphrase or if you're experiencing a technical problem with the hiveDisk app.

  2. Contact our support team with a detailed description of the issue you're facing.

  3. Our team will work with you to troubleshoot the problem and ensure you regain access to your data as quickly as possible.
