Attachments escape the workspace
Once a file is attached, the sender loses control: no expiry, no revocation and no record of who forwarded it.
Secure file sharing
Share a file without losing control of it.
Protected links with a password, an expiry date, a visitor limit and a download decision. Revoke access when the purpose ends.
- Password-protected links
- Expiry and visitor limits

The sharing problem
Four ways a share link goes wrong
Sending a file is easy. Closing access afterwards, and proving who had it, is the part most tools leave to the sender.
A link outlives its purpose
Public links stay active after the deal, the review or the semester ends, leaving an access path nobody monitors.
One link for everyone
The same link goes to the client, the auditor and the whole internal team, with identical permissions for each.
No idea who opened it
Views and downloads are invisible, so a question about disclosure cannot be answered with evidence.
Sharing flow
Create, protect, share, revoke
Four decisions per link. They take seconds and answer the questions that arrive weeks later.
Create
Upload the file or folder to the workspace. Choose whether the share is internal, external or public.
Protect
Add a password, an expiry date and a maximum number of unique visitors. Disable downloads when viewing is enough.
Share
Send the link through your usual channel. For sensitive exchanges, send the password separately.
Revoke
Close the link when the purpose ends. The file and its versions stay in the workspace; the access path does not.
Two channels are better than one
Send the link and the password through different channels. A password sent in the same email protects the link less than it appears to.
What you can control
Six settings per link
These are the controls available when a link is created. Availability of watermark and access contracts depends on the plan.
Password protection
Require a password before the recipient can open the link.
Expiration
Set the date after which the link stops working, independently of the file's retention.
Maximum unique visitors
Limit how many distinct recipients can open the link.
Download permission
Allow viewing only, or permit the recipient to download the file.
Watermark and access contract
Where the plan includes it, apply a watermark or require acceptance of an access contract before viewing.
Revocation
Disable the link at any time. Existing recipients can no longer use it.
Who shares what
Three sharing contexts
The same controls apply, but the sensible defaults differ between a client deliverable, an internal folder and a one-off transfer.
Client and customer sharing
Deliver a proposal, a report or a final asset through a link that expires when the engagement does.
Internal collaboration
Give colleagues view or edit rights in a shared folder instead of sending new copies by email.
Personal sharing
Send a large file to a recipient who does not need an account, with a password and an expiry date.
Honest limits
What a protected link cannot do
Security language should survive contact with a determined recipient. These are the boundaries we state openly.
- Layered encryption. Files are encrypted at the application level before storage (AES-256-GCM) and in transit with TLS 1.3, with a second layer at rest. This is not end-to-end encryption.
- A link cannot stop a screenshot. View-only access reduces download risk; it does not prevent a recipient from photographing a screen.
- Watermarks are plan-dependent. Confirm availability before relying on them for an external review.
No zero-knowledge claim
Everabyte applies layered encryption — application level plus storage level — with owner-controlled decryption. The platform can decrypt files to serve previews and downloads; it is not a zero-knowledge or end-to-end encrypted sharing product.
Choose the minimum access
If a recipient only needs to read a document, disable downloads and set an expiry date. If they need the file, grant the download and close the link when the task is complete.
Share the file, keep the decision
Tell us who receives files outside your organisation and what must be proven afterwards. We will show you how the link controls map to that workflow.
Watermark, access contracts and audit logging depend on the selected plan.
