Who needs this workflow
Accountants, consultants, HR teams, and freelancers frequently send contracts, management accounts, or unreleased creative work where a forwarded email link should not automatically expose the files.
When you set a transfer password, file names and download endpoints remain locked behind a server-enforced challenge until the recipient enters the correct secret.
Step-by-step practical workflow
- 1
Stage your files and enter a password
Choose a password of at least 6 characters before creating your link.
- 2
Send the password via a second channel
For best operational security, send the link by email and share the password via SMS or Signal/Slack.
- 3
Server verifies before issuing signed URLs
The API verifies the password hash with per-transfer brute-force rate limiting before revealing file metadata or minting a 90-second download URL.
Free vs paid plan limits
- Attach & Send encrypts data in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and scans files in private quarantine before release; it is not a client-side end-to-end encrypted data room.
- After 8 failed password guesses on a transfer, password verification is rate-limited/locked to prevent automated guessing.
