"Encryption - Protect Your Files
Protect sensitive files with encryption.
Only users with the URL will be able to view it. "
This is not encryption - you should change the copy to tell what encryption is used (AES-128 from the info here), even if it's beta. Some more information on that will be welcome.
- libeclipse 10y agoThey may be encrypting the file with a parameter passed in the URL. In this case, assuming no logs are kept, it would be a reasonable encryption setup.
- NoFile 10y agoThe encryption key is passed after the hash (#) in the URL. Therefore the keys are never sent to the server over the HTTP request (more info about this can be found here: https://nofile.io/security/ https://nofile.io/security/).

- NoFile 10y agoThere is actually a page that explains the encryption used and how it works which can be found here: https://nofile.io/security/ https://nofile.io/security/ A link has also been added to that block to make it easier to find, thanks for pointing it out.
- metachris 10y agohttps://nofile.io/security/ https://nofile.io/security/ "Your file is first securely encrypted using a secret key (AES-128) with Javascript on your device. Once it has been encrypted, the encrypted data is uploaded to a NoFile storage server over a secure HTTPS connection preventing any malicious users from seeing what you're uploading (as an extra layer of security). Only those with the secret key (which is in the URL) will be able to see the correct content and filename - if a single character of the key varies, then the file will be unrecognizable." You need to set this as your preferred method on the upload page.
