Have files sent to you — a receive folder (no password for senders)
A receive folder is a link that lets someone upload files to you. Just share the link and clients, contacts, or applicants can send you files securely, for free, with no sign-up. No large email attachments, and no password-protected ZIP (PPAP) to juggle.
What a receive folder is
Ordinary file transfer is built for sending. A receive folder is the opposite: it is built for having files sent to you. You create one link, share it, and the other person just picks files and uploads them — no account, no password, straight from a phone browser.
Only you can open it — public-key encryption
A receive folder is protected by public-key end-to-end encryption (ECDH P-256). When you create the link, a key pair is generated in your browser and the private key stays only in your browser. Each uploaded file is encrypted to your public key on the spot, so the server never holds a key and cannot read anything. Only you, holding the private key, can decrypt.
So senders never need a password, and when several people upload to the same folder, none of them can see anyone else's files.
How it works (3 steps)
- Create a receive folder: on the home page choose “Request files” and generate a receive link.
- Share the link: by email, chat, or QR code — any way you like.
- Collect what arrives: uploads appear in your inbox, where you decrypt and download them. Set a notification email and you'll be told the moment someone submits.
Great for
- Receiving quotes, deliverables, or drafts from clients and collaborators
- Letting people send you documents or records safely
- Collecting attachments from surveys or applications in one place
- Keeping it browser-only — no app for the sender to install
How it differs from ordinary file transfer
Most free transfer services only send — to receive, the other side has to use the service too. Secufile's receive folder is built for receiving and uses public-key E2EE that leaves no key on the server. It is also a safe, receiving-side replacement for emailing password-protected ZIPs (PPAP).
