    “Every file is checked and protected before it leaves.”

    I don’t even know what this means. I don’t want you poking through confidential client files. And this smells so vibe coded how am I meant to trust the security of the files?

    Edit:

    Oh my god. I just saw this. “ Files that arrive as an experience, using our living templates: a wax-sealed letter, a parcel to unbox, a mixtape that plays, a blueprint that unrolls, a runway collection to unzip. Your logo, colours and type on every one — recipients don’t click a link, they open a delivery.”

    Is this a joke?! No one wants to have to sit through so performative AI animation to get a file. This is horrendously tacky sounding. And potentially really painful for someone who just wants to download a file.

      Hello saaaaaam, thanks for your comment. On the animations, people can take it or leave it. It's not on there by default at all - just an option for people if they want it. No one's forced to send a file using the animations. In terms of "poking through confidential client files" as you put it, we make it clear - every file is scanned for malware and checked automatically for content that is illegal - for example CSAM - which is done in an automated fashion. Obviously, we don't want people abusing our service which is standard practice amongst any service.

        You avoided answering the most important question though which is how is anyone meant to trust the security of files delivered through something so obviously vibe coded?

          Hi saaaaaam, thank you for your reply. ive sent it isn't some vibe-coded weekend project, we wrote the code ourselves. Obviously you're free to believe it or not, I can't convince you otherwise.

            Your entire website stinks of vibe. I can smell the vibe from here. Either you’re lying or your copy is all AI generated. If you really wrote the code yourself you might want to consider how you present the project and how the presentation builds or destroys trust. I’m 100% the target for this - I send a lot of large files to non technical clients. But I would not use this.
