The download link problem

Sharing solutions generate public links accessible to everyone. No control over who can actually access the files.

Public download links

Anyone with the link can download

Uncontrolled access to files

No identity verification

Impossible to know who actually accesses

Files viewed by strangers

Links exposed in communications

Visible in emails, messages, histories

Lost traceability and confidentiality

Security through obscurity only

Protection based on link secrecy

Total vulnerability if link disclosed

� Le problème de la sécurité par obscurité

Compter uniquement sur le secret du lien est insuffisant. Les liens peuvent être interceptés dans les emails, logs serveur, historique navigateur.Le mot de passe ajoute une barrière de sécurité essentielle même en cas de fuite du lien.
