When it comes to sharing files, you can securely share any file or folder via NordLocker in just two steps. Share your files with however many people you like, and wait until they accept your invitation. NordLocker offers an option to share your files via a securely generated link that encrypts the file in transit. You always remain the owner of your files and can stop sharing it whenever you want.
