It so happens that you urgently need to send valuable information to your colleagues or potential customers by e-mail. What if you don't trust public file hosting services? You can use Google Drive or Yandex. Disk. But what if you don't have an account with either Google or Yandex services? For this case, there are 2 useful online encryption and file transfer tools.

File Lock

Service for encrypting files using HTML5 technology. Moreover, you do not need to install any plugins or additional modules for the browser.

You select the desired file or several files, specify the password and press the encryption button. In a couple of seconds, the browser will create an encrypted copy of the required file for you. The recipient will need to take the file, upload it to the same site and enter the password.

This service is not suitable for encrypting a large number of files or large media files: when the limit of 30 MB is reached, you will see a warning.

Securesha.re

The second service for encrypting files before sending or uploading to email clients, to file hosting services or to a local network. Encryption is performed using a password or a string of random characters, and you are given a link to a protected file that you can share with the recipient of the file. Basically, it is a file storage that also supports encrypting uploaded files and decrypting them in the recipient's browser before saving them to local media.

The maximum storage period for a protected file in this file sharing service is 7 days.

These are 2 fairly simple but convenient services for creating encrypted copies of your files. Now you can be sure that besides you and the recipient to whom you are sending a document or audio recording, no one else will see or read your data.
