Where secure external file sharing helps
Secure external file sharing matters when the file is sensitive enough that "just email it" feels wrong. ZipPigeon keeps the handoff focused: one package, the right recipient, and a clear access window.

Secure external file sharing for teams
ZipPigeon is built for workflows where the recipient is outside your organization and shared-drive access is more than the job needs. Send the package, choose the recipient, and keep the file out of ordinary attachment and shared-folder sprawl.
What happens to the file
The browser encrypts the package before upload. ZipPigeon stores encrypted chunks and coordinates recipient access, expiration, revocation, and audit events without needing ordinary readable file contents.
- Encrypt before upload
- Invite an account recipient or create a secure link
- Set expiration and download limits where configured
- Review transfer status
Common sends
Teams use it for client delivery, vendor exchange, partner handoff, contractor file transfer and similar files where a broad folder permission is more access than the job needs.
What still remains visible
The service still processes operational metadata: account and recipient details, timestamps, file size, transfer status, download counts, and audit events. That boundary is part of the security model, not fine print.
Frequently asked questions
What makes ZipPigeon useful for secure external file sharing?
ZipPigeon is useful when a sensitive file needs to reach a specific person without becoming an email attachment or a standing shared-folder permission.
Can ZipPigeon read my file contents?
The normal delivery model is designed so stored file data is encrypted and raw file keys are not sent to the server. Operational metadata is still processed.
What metadata is still processed?
Operational metadata such as account information, recipient information, timestamps, file size, delivery state, and audit events may be processed.
Send the file. Keep control of the link.
