Encryption and Privacy
Your files are your work. ZappFiles is built to keep them safe from the moment you upload to the moment your recipient downloads.
Encryption in transit
All file uploads and downloads happen over TLS-encrypted connections. This means your files are protected while being transferred between your browser and our servers. Nobody can intercept your data in transit.
Encryption at rest
Once your files reach our servers, they are stored with AES-256 encryption. This is the same encryption standard used by financial institutions and government agencies. Your files stay encrypted for as long as they are stored.
Access control
Your files are only accessible through a unique download link. Without the link, nobody can reach your files. The link is generated when your upload completes and is only shared with you (and your recipient, if you used the email option).
No early upload start
Some file sharing services start uploading your files in the background before you click send. ZappFiles does not do this. Your upload only begins when you explicitly start it. You stay in full control of when your files leave your device.
Automatic expiry and deletion
Every transfer has an expiry date. When it expires, the files are permanently deleted from our servers. You can also manually delete any transfer at any time, or enable "delete after download" on paid plans to automatically remove files once they have been downloaded.
Server locations
On Pro and Max plans, you can choose where your files are stored by selecting a server region. This gives you control over the physical location of your data - useful if you have specific data residency requirements.
