    When I need to send sensitive or confidential files online, I always look for a service that feels trustworthy and transparent about its security. Strong encryption is a must, both during upload and while the file is stored. I also prefer platforms that generate protected links with expiration options, so the file isn’t accessible forever. Password protection is another feature I rely on, especially when I’m sharing something important with clients or friends. And honestly, I pay attention to the reputation of the service — if people consistently mention security and reliability, it gives me more confidence to use it.

    I always start by checking whether the service uses end-to-end encryption and generates links that expire quickly, because it’s the only way I feel comfortable sharing anything important. I’ve learned to pay attention to small details—whether I can control access permissions, whether the service logs downloads, and how it handles data once the transfer is complete. At some point I even had to send fax from iPhone, and that experience made me think more carefully about how many tools still rely on secure, traceable delivery methods. I also look for transparent security standards like SOC 2 or HIPAA-level protection, because it shows the platform treats privacy as more than a marketing line. In the end, choosing a tool becomes much easier when I trust how it protects my information, not just how fast it sends it.
