When uploading a file to blek! File, you may add a password to it, if it has confidential data.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
However, be aware that even though the file won't be sent unless the user provides a password,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<b>the instance owner will still be able to see the file contents without a password.</b>

<h2>Why can't the site encrypt it for me?</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
There is a number of reasons why that is a stupid idea.

This site's only purpose is to store files for short periods of time.
|
||
|
|
It doesnt include "storing the files securely", or encrypting them.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>
|
||
|
|
When the encryption happens server-side, there is a risk that the password could be logged.

<h2>How do I encrypt a file, then?</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Its dead simple: download a program for encrypting files on your computer and use it to handle
|
||
|
|
all encryption operations.

As for the encryption program, it is recommended to use
