Practical best practices for safer large file sharing — without the paranoia or fluff.

Secure File Transfer

If you are sending private or sensitive files, a few habits make a big difference.

Best practices

  • Share only with intended recipients and double-check addresses.
  • Avoid public posting of links for private content.
  • Use strong passwords where available, and do not reuse them.
  • Prefer trusted networks when uploading confidential data.
  • Limit retention — temporary transfers reduce exposure over time.
