Share files securely with Enclosed

My accountant works for one of those giant firms, and it bugs me that I’m emailing him password protected zip files of my accounts rather than to a secure upload facility at his firm. I can fix this with the power of self hosting, by running my own secure file dropping app on a VPS.

There’s a number of applications that do this sort of thing - allow you to upload a file, get a link in return which you can then share to people to download the file. For this to be more secure than emailing, the file needs to be encrypted on the server, and we want to be able to set a password, impose limits on downloads, and limit how long the link lives for. I’ve previously looked at Sharry which adds the ability for unauthenticated users to upload files to you securely, but for this slightly simpler job, I chose Enclosed by Corentin Thomasset .
