Secure Data Exchange with Clients Made Easy: One-Time Codes and Name Entry with luckycloud

Sharing data with others should be as simple and secure as possible. Companies need to exchange sensitive information with clients, partners, or internal teams—but once a link is shared, it can quickly get out of hand. Who can guarantee that a download link won’t be forwarded to third parties? And what happens when a file is uploaded anonymously to a cloud folder and no one knows who sent it? This is where luckycloud comes in, with two new features: one-time codes for download links and name entry for upload links. Two simple but effective solutions that provide greater control and security when sharing data.

Why You Should Add Extra Security to Your Data Sharing

A download link is an excellent way to quickly share files from your cloud storage with selected recipients. But what happens if a recipient forwards the link without authorization? Can it be reused multiple times? This uncertainty can cause serious problems, especially when it comes to confidential contracts, financial documents, or personal data.

It’s also worth taking a closer look at file uploads. A project team might collect documents in a shared cloud folder – but without clear labeling, it’s unclear who uploaded what. This leads to unnecessary follow-ups and confusion. It becomes even more critical if anonymously uploaded documents containing sensitive information end up in the wrong hands.

The challenge: to design data sharing that remains seamless and efficient, while preventing unauthorized access. That’s exactly what luckycloud now offers. New features from luckycloud allow you to retain control over shared data without having to go through complicated permission processes.

How Personalized One-Time Codes Make Your Download Links Even More Secure

One-time codes for download links ensure that you, as the sender, can define exactly which email addresses are authorized to retrieve the code and access the download. If a recipient forwards the link without your consent, that third party cannot generate a valid one-time code and therefore cannot access the files.

This feature is especially useful for companies that send exclusive or confidential documents – whether it’s a signed contract, a confidential offer, or a personalized client document. The one-time code ensures that sensitive information is not shared uncontrollably.

File Upload with Name Entry: More Transparency, Less Chaos

The second new feature relates to file uploads. Users can now require that the person uploading a file must enter their name. It may sound like a small change, but it makes a big difference in practice. Especially in project management, job applications, or governmental processes, it’s essential to clearly assign uploaded documents.

With this feature, no document remains anonymous – and no important information remains unclear. Depending on the use case, you can configure luckycloud to create a separate subfolder for each uploader or to append the uploader’s name to the end of the filename.

GDPR-Compliant Data Sharing for All Industries with luckycloud

The new security features from luckycloud are more than just a useful addition – they solve real problems in a variety of industries.

  • Finance and insurance: It’s critical that sensitive files like contracts or billing statements don’t end up in the wrong hands. One-time codes ensure that only the intended recipient can access the file – and that links can’t be forwarded without authorization. Meanwhile, name entry simplifies the upload of documents such as identity verification or tax documents by making it clear who submitted what.
  • Public sector and municipalities: Name entry is especially helpful when citizens upload documents like building permits or funding applications. Without identifying information, assignments are much harder. With name entry, it’s immediately clear who submitted which file, reducing processing times and administrative overhead.
  • Law firms and legal advisors: Contracts and legal documents are highly sensitive. One-time codes prevent clients from accidentally forwarding links. Name entry ensures that uploaded files can be properly assigned – saving time and avoiding misunderstandings.

A step-by-step guide on how to generate one-time codes for your download links or activate name entry for uploads can be found here in the luckycloud Knowledge Base.
