netfiles’ filesharing solution meets growing demand for secure German cloud services

Just a few months ago, netfiles launched its new business filesharing solution, netfiles Send. The response shows that companies are not only looking for sovereign alternatives for large-scale cloud projects. There is also strong demand for a solution for fast, everyday file exchange that is easy to use while providing clear standards for data protection and control.

“Current market data shows that German companies increasingly view secure and sovereign services as a genuine alternative,” says Patrick Reininger, Managing Director of netfiles GmbH. “However, there is an additional requirement for everyday data exchange: the secure solution must also be the simplest one. Otherwise, it will not be used when it matters most.”

This is exactly where netfiles Send comes in. The solution was developed for situations in which files or entire folders need to be transferred quickly to customers, business partners, or colleagues. Instead of a complex platform, companies receive a clear and immediately understandable way to transfer data. Recipients do not need a user account or additional software. A browser is all that is required. Files can be shared via a link, protected with a password if required, made available for a limited period, and tracked using a delivery confirmation. Large volumes of data and complete folder structures can also be transferred without prior compression.

Secure solutions must be simple

In day-to-day business, the choice of transfer method is often made under time pressure. If the designated company solution is too complicated, users revert to alternatives such as e-mail or insecure filesharing providers.

“The problem is the loss of control: Where are the files stored, how long do they remain available, and who can access them? In such cases, no one really knows,” says Reininger.

netfiles Send closes the gap between simple ad hoc services and complex data exchange platforms. The company headquarters, development, and hosting are all located in Germany. The product deliberately focuses on one task: simple, fast, and secure data exchange for businesses.

The nomination of netfiles Send for the 2026 TeleTrusT Innovation Award shows that this approach is also receiving recognition outside the company. For netfiles, the nomination provides early external confirmation that usability and IT security must not be viewed as opposites.

Patrick Reininger emphasizes that this is precisely the principle behind netfiles Send: “We did not equip netfiles Send with as many features as possible, but with the essential ones. Data sovereignty in everyday business is not achieved through additional complexity. No one should have to look for a more convenient alternative.”

For longer-term projects, netfiles Data Room complements the service with a structured working environment featuring differentiated access permissions, version control, and traceable activities. This allows netfiles Send to remain deliberately focused on immediate data exchange.
