Best way to securely share confidential documents without cloud storage?
A few weeks ago I needed a secure way to share confidential documents with a client, so I started researching encrypted file sharing tools and secure document transfer services.
The problem is that most secure platforms still feel like regular cloud storage services with basic password protection added on top. Some file sharing links could still be forwarded easily, which kind of defeats the purpose of private document sharing.
What I was actually looking for was a secure file sharing solution with features like password protected links, one-time downloads, temporary file access, auto expiring links, and end-to-end encryption for sensitive documents.
I also didn’t want another bloated cloud storage platform or something that forces clients to create accounts just to open confidential files.
I’ve tested a few encrypted file transfer services already, but it’s surprising how many are missing basic privacy and security features.
What secure file sharing service are you guys using these days for confidential client files or sensitive documents?
