Retyc Transfer
End-to-end encrypted file transfer
Send your files with end-to-end, zero-knowledge encryption. The file leaves your machine already encrypted, and we do not hold the key.
Simplicity
Send the way you always do, encrypted
Drop a file, get a link. The encryption, the recipient's key and the expiry date are all set without you having to think about them.
Encrypted before it leaves your machine
Encryption happens on your device, before anything is sent, with hybrid keys designed to resist known quantum attacks. Only your recipient can open the result.
Instant transfer
Drag and drop your files, the link is generated right away. No technical setting to learn, the protections are on by default.
Zero-knowledge architecture
Neither the contents of your files nor their metadata are within our reach. This is not an internal policy, it is a property of the architecture.
Large files
Videos, archives, high-resolution artwork: nothing to split before sending. The size per transfer depends on your plan.
Control
You keep a grip after sending
A confidential document should not stop being yours because it has left. You decide who reaches it, and until when.
Precise access control
Decide who can download your files, and cut access as soon as you see fit.
Automatic expiry
Set expiry dates for your transfers. Your files are deleted automatically once the configured period is over.
Optional password protection
Add a further layer of protection with a password, for recipients without an account.
Usage
For every sensitive file
Client documents, creative work, personal files: the handling is the same, and you have nothing to set for it to be so.
Start right away
Create your account and start transferring within moments. Your recipients have nothing to install or configure.
Built for professionals
Built for lines of work where sending a file carries responsibility: firms, in-house legal teams, public bodies.
Hosting you can name
A single operator, Scaleway, in the European Union. That is an answer your procurement team and your clients can check.
Built around the GDPR
Your files remain your property, and data protection is built into the architecture rather than bolted on as a setting.
How it works
Four steps, three of them automatic
The only thing you do yourself is drop the file and choose who it goes to.
1. Encrypt your files
Drag and drop your files. Encryption starts on your device, before anything at all goes onto the network.
2. Share the secure link
A unique link is generated right after. You pass it on however you like, and it is of no use without the means to decrypt.
3. Secure download
Your recipient downloads and decrypts the file in their browser. At no point does the content in the clear pass through our servers.
4. Automatic expiry
Once the period you set is over, the link stops working and the content is purged from storage.
Sovereignty
A link that stays under European law
A transfer is out of your hands the moment the link goes. Worth knowing where its contents sit, and what an outside request could get out of it.
Stored in Europe, and nowhere else
The encrypted file is placed at Scaleway, within the European Union, and does not leave it. No replication to infrastructure outside the Union.
No non-European host
No American or Chinese host in the chain. When a client asks where their file goes, the answer is one name long.
What a legal order would obtain
An encrypted file and an expiry date. Decryption keys do not pass through our servers, and we are in no position to produce them.
Expired means erased
At the deadline you set, the transfer stops being reachable and a scheduled task purges its contents from storage. No dormant copy is left behind.
Ready to transfer your files in full confidentiality?
A first encrypted transfer takes under a minute. You will see straight away what your recipient gets, and what we do not see of it.
Frequently asked questions
Everything worth knowing before you send your first encrypted file.
No. They receive a link, then download and decrypt the file straight in their browser. If they do not yet have a Retyc key, the transfer must carry a password, which you pass to them through another channel.
No. Encryption happens on your device before sending, so we store nothing usable. File names, sizes and types are encrypted just as the contents are. That is the zero-knowledge principle: we do not have the key.
The size allowed per transfer depends on your plan. All of them cover sending heavy files such as videos, archives or high-resolution artwork, and the higher plans raise that ceiling.
You choose the duration, from a few hours to several months depending on your plan. Once it is over, the files are purged from storage. You can also cut access before the deadline.
The dashboard shows, for each send, whether it was collected and when. Enough to know whether a reminder is needed, without having to ask.
Sending requires a subscription, from the Solo plan onwards. Signing up stays free: it lets you receive files and take part in datarooms you are invited to. The people you send to have nothing to subscribe to.
