The client file, behind a password.
ID, tax returns, contracts: one link, and a password you give separately.
The password travels separately.
The link in your email, the password by text or over the phone. Never both in the same message.
Without the password, the page shows nothing.
Not the transfer’s name, not the files. Once it is typed: your message and the documents, one by one, or all as a .zip up to 2 GB on a computer and 500 MB on a phone.
You see what was downloaded.
With a free account, each file says how many times it was downloaded. Sent to the wrong person? Delete the transfer: the link stops at once.
Downloaded once, then erased.
With deletion on, the transfer is erased once every file has been downloaded. Otherwise it ends when the time you chose runs out.

Frequently asked questions
Does my client need an account?
No. They open the link, type the password and download in their browser, on a computer or a phone.
Does the password encrypt the files?
No. It closes access to the page and the files; it is not end-to-end encryption. The files are stored in the European Union.
How long does the link stay online?
Up to 3 days without an account; with Pro, as long as your plan is active. With deletion on, it ends once every file has been downloaded.
What if the file weighs more than 5 GB?
With Pro, one transfer holds up to 500 GB and 2,000 files.
