Here are the steps to securely transfer files and documents to others:
- Use a cloud-based file sharing service such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive
- Encrypt the documents with a strong password
- Share the documents with a secure link instead of attaching them to an email
- If you are sending the file to someone who does not have the appropriate software to open it, consider using a free file converter service such as Zamzar.
- Make sure to delete the file once it has been sent and received.
