FAQ
Questions people ask before sending
Answers to common questions about private file delivery, encrypted sharing, secure links, recipient access, and metadata.
Are stored files readable?
ZipPigeon stores encrypted file chunks and encrypted manifests rather than normal readable file contents.
Are secure links safe?
Secure links are private passes while active. Account sharing is stronger for people you already know.
Frequently asked questions
What is private file delivery?
It is a simple way to send sensitive files to the right person, with an access window, instead of leaving copies in email threads or shared folders.
Is ZipPigeon end-to-end encrypted?
ZipPigeon encrypts files in the browser before upload and stores encrypted file data. The security page explains what remains visible and what is still on the roadmap.
Can ZipPigeon read my files?
During normal delivery, ZipPigeon should not receive plaintext files or raw file keys. It still handles delivery details such as accounts, recipients, timestamps, and transfer status.
Do recipients need an account?
No. You can use account access for people you know, or a secure link when a guest needs a quick way in.
How is ZipPigeon different from cloud storage?
Cloud storage is for ongoing collaboration. ZipPigeon is for sending a sensitive package to a specific person and closing access when the job is done.
How is ZipPigeon different from email attachments?
Email attachments spread into inboxes, backups, forwards, and downloads. ZipPigeon gives you a separate send flow with encryption, expiration, and recipient access.
Who is ZipPigeon for?
ZipPigeon is for legal, accounting, HR, consulting, agency, startup, security, and freelance teams that send sensitive files to people outside their usual workspace.
