When uploading a file to blek! File, you may add a password to it, if it has confidential data.

<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>

This site's only purpose is to store files for short periods of time.
|
|
It doesnt include "storing the files securely", or encrypting them.

|
When the encryption happens server-side, there is a risk that the password could be logged.
