<p>
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>
</p>
<h2>Why can't the site encrypt it for me?</h2>
<p>
There is a number of reasons why that is a stupid idea.
</p>
<ol style="list-style:decimal;padding-left:12px;">
<li>
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.
</li>
</ol>
<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.
</p>
<p>
As for the encryption program, it is recommended to use
<a href='https://gnupg.org'>GnuPG</a>
(
<a href="https://gpg4win.org">Windows</a>
<a href="https://openkeychain.org">Android</a>
).

is a cross-platform easy to use GUI for GPG.
