Secure File Sharing Without Email Attachments

Attachments are copied across servers and devices and are hard to retract.

Better options

  • Share a link from encrypted cloud storage with a password and expiry.
  • Use end-to-end encrypted file transfer tools.
  • Use a secure client portal for professionals.

Good practices

  • Share the password through a different channel.
  • Set links to expire.
  • Share only what is needed.
Key takeaway: Use expiring, password-protected links and share the password separately.
