- FileSender UX/UI — UX/UI overhaul of FileSender
-
Privacy and data security have become top priority to organisations and individuals alike. Secure, trustworthy and transparent services for sharing files are difficult to find, however. With most available services on the market, users don’t really know what happens with their confidential files, nor whether or not their files are deleted by the service once the files have been successfully transferred from A to B. This lack of technical transparency not only poses a risk to data security and privacy, but also creates serious impediments to compliance and control.
FileSender is a libre filesharing server designed with privacy and data security in mind, and capable of exchanging extremely large files - in fact, the key limit is the capacity of the equipment and the capacity of the network connection rather the software. FileSender is free and open source technology, which allows users and developers to maintain and enhance it to cater for new use cases. It is easy to customise the look and feel, so organisations and service providers can easily integrate it into their offering to users and customers. FileSender allows to encrypt files in transit and offers full control to users – as it should be when it comes to sensitive data. In this project, the entire user interface and user experience (UX/UI) are overhauled, from the user front end and the administrative interface to the emails that are sent out.
