What is the maximum file size limit on Share2Me?

There are absolutely no file size limits on Share2Me. Because the transfer is established directly peer-to-peer (P2P) between the sender and receiver browsers via WebRTC, the data does not pass through or store on any intermediate cloud server.

Is my data secure when transferring files and text?

Yes, completely secure. All transfers are end-to-end encrypted using military-grade AES-GCM-256 encryption. The encryption key is derived locally on your device via ephemeral ECDH (P-256) key exchange, meaning the raw key never leaves your browser and cannot be read by anyone, including the signaling server.

Do both devices need to be online at the same time?

Yes. Because Share2Me uses direct WebRTC peer-to-peer tunnels to transfer data, both the sending device and the receiving device must have the page open and be online concurrently to perform the transfer.

Can I transfer files between different operating systems?

Absolutely. Share2Me is entirely browser-native and cross-platform. It works seamlessly between iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux, and any other operating system running a modern web browser, without needing any software installations.

Can I send clipboard text and messages securely?

Yes. Share2Me offers a dedicated Text Transfer mode. Copy-paste any text, passwords, or code snippets, and it will be encrypted and streamed securely through the same WebRTC pipeline, complete with a convenient 'Copy All' button for the receiver.

How to Collect Documents from Clients Securely: The Ultimate Guide

July 08, 2026

Whether you are a lawyer collecting case files, an accountant gathering tax receipts, or a bank collecting loan applications, secure document collection is vital. Relying on insecure attachments or shared folders exposes client data to breaches. This guide covers how to collect documents from clients securely using browser-native E2EE, keeping your files protected and compliant.

1. Cryptographic Client-Side Encryption vs Server-Side Encryption

Most cloud drives encrypt files after they reach their server disks (encryption at rest), meaning the service provider holds the decryption keys. This exposes files to internal hacks. Share2Me encrypts documents locally in the client's browser using AES-GCM-256 before transmission, ensuring only you can decrypt and access the files.

Client-Side E2EE: Files are encrypted locally before leaving the device.
Zero Key Access: Only you hold the decryption keys, not the cloud provider.

2. Complying with Regulatory Standards (HIPAA, GDPR, GLBA)

Healthcare, legal, and financial industries enforce strict compliance rules regarding document collection. By keeping decryption keys client-side and using direct browser-to-browser WebRTC streams, Share2Me avoids third-party data caching, simplifying compliance audits.

Regulatory Compliance: Ephemeral direct tunnels avoid cloud caching.
Sensitive Data: Protect tax documents, medical forms, and contracts.

3. Eliminating User Account Obstacles

Asking clients to register or download companion software is a major source of friction. Share2Me runs in standard browsers, allowing clients to drop tax forms, contracts, or IDs securely without account setup.

Conclusion

Securing your client document collection pipeline requires client-side encryption and frictionless portals. Share2Me delivers this, protecting your sensitive business documents.
