Sharing files online is fast and easy — but sometimes, too easy. One click and you might be sending more information than you think. Hidden details, public links, or even personal data can slip through without you noticing.
The good news? A few simple habits and the right tools can keep your files safe.
The Hidden Risks You Might Miss
When you hit “send,” your file could still carry:
-
Metadata (author, device, date, location)
-
Tracked changes or visible comments
-
Public links embedded in the document
-
Private details you didn’t mean to share
Common Mistakes When Sharing Files
-
No final review – Skipping that last check before sending.
-
Public links by default – Anyone with the link can access your file.
-
Metadata overload – Files storing info you didn’t know was there.
-
Sending editable formats – .docx or .xls can be changed by others.
Easy Privacy Habits
-
Review before you send – Check for names, notes, or personal data.
-
Clean metadata – Use GIMP Online or Inkscape Online to safely edit.
-
Export to PDF – Prevent unwanted edits and keep formatting intact.
-
Use MegaDisk for sharing – Upload, get a secure link, and delete when done.
