The situation

You need to send contracts, assets, or dumps to a contractor. You want a password on the archive and you do not want the contents uploaded “for convenience.”

What usually goes wrong

Finder’s Compress has no AES option. Cloud “secure share” links move the files off the machine and add account friction.

A clearer path

  1. Create a new ZIP or 7z in Better UnArchiver.
  2. Enable AES-256, set a password, optionally split volumes.
  3. Send the archive through the channel you already trust; share the password out of band.
