Key features

Secure file transfer uses the same disappearing note model, with attachment-first controls for files and folders.

Browser-side encryption

Files are encrypted on this device before upload. PrivateNote stores only ciphertext — never readable file contents.

Folder transfer

Choose a folder and PrivateNote prepares a local zip first, then encrypts that archive before it leaves your device.

Controlled access

Set expiry, view limits, and file access windows so the transfer disappears after the recipient opens it.

Sign in to send

Sending requires a free PrivateNote account (up to 25 MB per file, 250 MB total storage). Recipients never need an account to open the link.

Temporary encrypted transfer

Encrypted file sharing without exposing your files

PrivateNote sends files through expiring encrypted links. Files are encrypted in your browser before upload, so the server stores only ciphertext — never the original contents.

It's built for temporary transfer, not long-term cloud storage. Recipients can open links without an account; sending uses a free account for limits and abuse prevention.
