What is Shareshield?
Shareshield is an app that allows you to securely share encrypted PDF files. You can control who has access to decrypt these files, how many times they can decrypt them, and track unauthorized sharing through watermarking.
How does Shareshield work?
Shareshield encrypts PDF files and allows you to share them with specific contacts. Only the people you have authorized and added to the contact list for that file can decrypt it.
Can I control who decrypts my files?
Yes! You can add and edit contacts to the file’s access list, specifying exactly who can decrypt it. If a contact isn’t added to the list, they will not be able to decrypt the file.
What is the watermark feature?
Every file shared through Shareshield is automatically watermarked with the recipient’s username. This allows you to track who shared the file if it is somehow distributed without your permission.
How does the decryption limit work?
You can set a limit on how many times each contact is allowed to decrypt the file. Once they’ve reached the limit, they won’t be able to decrypt the file anymore unless you adjust their permissions. For now this limit is defaulted to 1 and the feature to edit this number will be added in future releases
Can I share files through instant messaging apps or email?
Absolutely! Shareshield allows you to share encrypted files through any platform, including instant messaging apps, email, or other file-sharing methods. You retain control over who can decrypt the file.
What happens if someone tries to share my file with someone not on the access list?
If someone shares the encrypted file with a person who isn’t on the file’s access list, that person won’t be able to decrypt the file. This ensures that only authorized contacts can view the content.
Can I add and edit email addresses in Shareshield?
Yes, Shareshield allows you to add and edit email addresses in your contact list. You can manage who has permission to decrypt each file directly from the app.
How secure is Shareshield?
Shareshield uses advanced encryption technology to protect your files, ensuring that only authorized users can access the content. The watermark and decryption limit features provide extra layers of security.
Is there a limit on how many files I can share?
There are no inherent limits on the number of files you can encrypt and share through Shareshield. You can control access to as many files as you need.

What types of files can I share with Shareshield?

Can I revoke access to a file after it’s been shared?
Yes! You can edit the access list at any time to revoke a contact’s ability to decrypt a file.
Do recipients need to have Shareshield installed to decrypt files?
Yes, recipients need to have the Shareshield app installed in order to decrypt files shared through the platform. This ensures the security and proper control of file decryption.
Does Shareshield store my sensitive file and its contents?
Shareshield does not store any files or data. It cannot access any of your information. The file is encrypted and stored on your device until you decide to share it
