In an era where data breaches and privacy concerns are increasingly common, protecting your files during transfers is more important than ever. Let's explore the best practices for maintaining privacy when sharing files and how our platform helps you stay secure.
Understanding Data Privacy Risks
When sharing files online, several privacy risks need to be considered:
- Unauthorized access to sensitive data
- Man-in-the-middle attacks
- Data collection by third parties
- Permanent storage on intermediate servers
Privacy First Approach:
Our platform is built with a "privacy by design" philosophy, ensuring your data remains protected throughout the entire sharing process.
Essential Privacy Features
-
End-to-End Encryption
All files are encrypted before leaving your device and can only be decrypted by the intended recipient.
-
No Intermediate Storage
Files are transferred directly between peers without being stored on our servers.
-
Secure Room Creation
Unique, randomly generated room IDs ensure only authorized parties can join.
-
Automatic Disconnection
Connections are automatically terminated after transfer completion.
Best Practices for Secure File Sharing
Follow these guidelines to ensure maximum privacy when sharing files:
- Use strong, unique room IDs for each transfer
- Share room links through secure channels
- Verify the recipient's identity before sending sensitive files
- Monitor active connections during transfers

Pro Tip: For highly sensitive files, consider using our one-time transfer feature, which automatically destroys the room after the first successful transfer.
