The Problem with Email & Traditional File Sharing

No Control or Visibility

Once you hit send, you lose all control. Files live in inboxes forever. You can't track who viewed it, when, or from where. Zero accountability.

Compliance Nightmare

Without audit trails, you can't prove compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, or SOC2. One data breach audit and you're exposed with no evidence of due diligence.

Sound familiar? There's a better way.

How Sealdrop Works

Secure file transfer with complete audit trail in 5 simple steps

01

Upload & Configure

Sender uploads file (up to 300MB), sets expiration time, view/download limits, and optional password protection. Sender's IP and identity logged via Google OAuth.

02

Recipient Gets Email

Recipient receives secure link via email. No password yet—just the access URL. Email logged with timestamp in audit trail.

03

Two-Factor Authentication

Recipient enters their email. System sends second email with 4-digit verification code. Every access attempt logged with IP address. 2-3 failed attempts? Document self-destructs.

04

Download & Track

Upon successful authentication, recipient downloads file. Every view/download recorded: timestamp, IP address, user email. Full audit trail exportable to CSV.

05

Auto-Destruction

Document automatically deletes when: expiration time reached, view/download limit hit, or failed login attempts exceeded. Complete audit log preserved for compliance even after destruction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about secure file sharing

After 2-3 failed login attempts, the file, temporary user account, and all credentials are automatically destroyed. No recovery possible. The sender gets notified immediately, and everything is logged in the audit trail. This prevents brute force attacks.
When you share a file externally, the recipient gets a single-use account with a unique 4-digit token (not a password they can forget). No sign-up, no password recovery, no second chances. Once they access the file or the link expires, the account self-destructs.
For forensic-grade compliance. Every file access is logged with IP address, timestamp, device info, and action taken. This creates an immutable audit trail for legal/compliance teams. Even if someone uses a VPN, their access is still logged and traceable.
WeTransfer has zero audit trail and no access control. SendSafely costs $300+/month for enterprise features. Sealdrop gives you auto-destruction on failed attempts, forensic audit logs, temporary users with tokens, and mandatory IP tracking at SMB pricing ($29-99/month).
No. Files self-destruct after expiration, view/download limits, or failed login attempts. We use ephemeral storage with automatic deletion. Your data doesn't persist, which helps with GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2 compliance requirements.
Compliance teams, legal firms, financial services, HR departments, healthcare providers, and any business handling sensitive documents that need proof of who accessed what, when, and from where. If you need audit trails and auto-destruction, Sealdrop is for you.
