What sets this tool apart from the rest is the ability to send your files using a 6-digit key with recipients, so you can share files without needing access to everyone's email addresses. Alternatively, you can send a link through email or a company messenger, like Slack, when you don't need to transfer the files in real-time.
Specific Use Case : The 6-digit key enables you to quickly message or send files to anyone, without needing an email address.
This might be good for quickly Slacking files to colleagues, or texting a file to a friend. A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is a service that protects your data and provides you with more privacy when you're online by routing your internet connection through a server. A VPN can protect you from hackers, or even online ads, and is a secure option, particularly if you're often using public wi-fi.
Some internet service providers ISP use broadband traffic management to moderate upload bandwidth — if this is the case for your ISP, you can use a VPN, which will prevent your ISP from recognizing how large your files are, enabling you to send them.
However, this isn't the best option in our list for two reasons — one, the large file could slow down your VPN connection, and two, your files aren't guaranteed to be intact upon delivery. To ensure a high-quality delivery, you might want to try an alternative option, like a Zip compression. Specific Use Case : If you're using public wifi and you're sending private documents, this is a good option for increasing security measures. However, this may not be the best option if you need to ensure high-quality delivery.

Specific Use Case : A more secure option than traditional online file-sharing, to be used when sending highly classified files to colleagues or clients.
