How to Review Cybersecurity Before Using a Free Online File Sharing Service

A free file sharing service may have unclear retention, access, support, or data use terms. Uploading company material can create risk even if the link is difficult to guess.

What to check

Check service ownership, access control, link expiry, download logging, retention and deletion, encryption, and approved data types.

Recommended next step

Use a governed sharing option appropriate to the data and recipient. Informatix Systems can assess cybersecurity and cloud collaboration controls.
