Cryptshare became part of a Swedish identity suite after the 2022 Pointsharp acquisition. Conbool SecureFiles is the focused German alternative: true client-side zero-knowledge, EU hosting, and modern contracts without multi-year lock-in.
Ownership. Cryptshare has been part of Pointsharp AB since 2022.
Sweden-based Pointsharp AB acquired Cryptshare in 2022. The product domain cryptshare.com has redirected via 301 to pointsharp.com ever since. Cryptshare therefore belongs to a broader Nordic identity suite, no longer to a standalone German brand.

Conbool SecureFiles hands files off as a direct line between two endpoints. In zero-knowledge mode the sender's browser encrypts, the server only sees ciphertext. Outlook add-in included, no edition switch needed.
True zero-knowledge on demand, the key never leaves the device.
EU hosting, ISO-27001 certified infrastructure.
Outlook add-in for Classic, New and Web. No plug-in breakage.

Per its own FAQ Cryptshare derives the key server-side from the user password. That is not zero-knowledge in the literal sense. Conbool offers true client-side zero-knowledge on demand, the key never leaves the sender's device.
Browser-side encryption
The file is encrypted in the sender's browser before upload. WebCrypto API, AES-256-GCM.
Out-of-band key handover
The key travels to the recipient via a separate channel. The server sees neither key nor cleartext.
Even under court order
In zero-knowledge mode Conbool technically cannot release content. No master key, no recovery.
Classic mode still available
For workflows that need server-side audit visibility, the classic mode remains optional. You choose per workflow.
