Share files (.nt2share)

Last updated: 28 Jun 2026

Mode C—offline transport for vault openers.

Who this is for

Senders and recipients who want fully offline transport—AirDrop, USB stick, corporate file share, or email attachment—without relying on a live HTTPS link.

What you need

Vault stateUnlocked to create; recipient unlocks to import
NetworkNot required—encryption and decryption are local
Feature toggleNone

Steps

Create a .nt2share from an asset

  1. Open the asset → ShareShare file (.nt2share).
  2. Select fields and attachments to include.
  3. Set a share passphrase (recommended)—distinct from your master password—or acknowledge no-passphrase mode for low-risk payloads.
  4. Download .nt2share or use the system share sheet (Share file…).
  5. Send the file and passphrase (or decryption key when shown) in separate channels.

Create from Send hub

  1. Go to https://se.nt2.me/send/file.
  2. Choose any file, set passphrase, Create file.
  3. Same out-of-band passphrase rules apply.

Recipient import

PathSteps
Receive → Filehttps://se.nt2.me/receive/file → select .nt2share → enter share passphrase → view → save to vault or Inbox
PWA file handlerOpening .nt2share on installed PWA lands on /receive/file automatically
Public import pageRead-only decrypt in browser; unlock vault to persist as an asset

Local vault on same device

From Receive → File, Send to a vault on this device delivers the artifact to another vault's Inbox without leaving the machine.

Tips and common mistakes

  • .nt2share is not .nt2backup—share files carry one handoff; backups migrate the whole vault (Backup export and import).
  • Share passphrase ≠ master password—treat the passphrase like a one-time wire transfer code.
  • Large attachments increase file size—prefer field selection on structured assets.
  • Fragment-key mode splits file and key—both pieces are required.
  • After import, the sender cannot remotely delete your copy—hosted link revoke does not apply to files you already saved.
