Ask HN: What's your go to for sharing sensitive files with non tech people?

3•privsen•1h ago
My accountant asked me to send tax documents. My parents needed help with medical records. A client wanted API credentials. Every time I hit the same problem: PGP is way too complex for them, Signal requires installing an app, email attachments feel insecure, and I don't trust random file sharing sites.

What do you all actually use in practice? Curious if there's something obvious, I'm missing.

Signal is almost the only thing that I strongly trust.

Originally set it up to discuss patent stuff which had to be kept pretty secret, stayed for the lolz.

For small but sensitive items of data, such as bank details, I split over a couple of channels, eg SMS and email, to make it harder for any one bad actor to see all parts.

The split channel approach is clever, never thought of that. Do you find people actually follow through with the second channel or do they just reply what's the code?" in the same thread?

Google Drive.

Fair - it's convenient. Though after seeing how many services train AI on uploaded content, I've gotten paranoid about what I put in cloud storage.

Bitwarden Send or https://1ty.me/ or similar services. Bitwarden Send can do text or files, which is nice.

For actually sending, Signal disappearing messages or phone calls for some info.

Bit warden Send looks nice but the free tier is text-only my parents needed to send a PDF. Will check if 1ty.me handles files.
