Which one should you pick?
Pick Tresorit Send if
You’re building around secure one-off transfers. Tresorit Send is the free, encrypted-by-default file transfer arm of Tresorit, the Swiss security-first cloud storage company. Files are end-to-end encrypted, recipients get a link, and you don't need an account to send up to 5GB.
