Vaultedge will not store the actual files, only metadata about the files. We plan to encrypt the metadata and also optionally allow user to control the keys. We will also have 2-factor authentication. Please suggest if you have any suggestions. Thanks for asking.

this is better. My suggestion is that the metadata is not linked to a complete profile.

I would like to understand a little better your comment about "metadata is not linked to a profile". Do you say by not linked to a profile, there shouldn't be a way for a hacker to figure out the metadata of a user? Or you mean "metadata" should be associated to individual accounts(say dropbox), so incase of a breach, only the metadata for that account is compromised and not for all the accounts of a user? Thanks for your time.
