Ask HN: sharing files securely with non-technical people

1 points by feistypharit 12y ago ↗ HN

I sometimes need to share a sensitive file with non-technical people. i.e. W2 and bank info when applying for a mortgage. In the past, I've tried https://hidemyass.com/upload/. It has the controls I'd like, but the domain scares off the non-clueful. What other services are out there?

Also tried https://www.sendsafely.com/, but the receiver must have flash to download files.

https://www.noteshred.com/, seems to be a decent compromise.

http://www.senditonthenet.com/ looks good, but requires recipient to register a new account.
