Share with people you trust —
not people you're negotiating with.
Sharp#Soft gives you precise control over who can open what. This guide explains exactly what that control does — and the one thing no software can do, which should shape how you use it.
What sharing grants
When you share a file, a document, or a shared space, you're granting a specific identity the ability to open specific content. Nothing more.
- Only the identities you explicitly invite can open what you share — our servers can't, and neither can anyone in between
- Sharing access never means sharing your keys — your own vault stays yours alone
- In shared spaces, roles decide who can read, write, and administer
What removing someone stops
What removal does
Future access ends.
- From the moment you remove someone, they can no longer open the shared content going forward
- New content in a shared space never reaches them
What removal cannot do
The past can't be recalled.
- While someone has access, they can read — and anything readable can be copied, exported, or photographed
- No software, ours included, can take back what someone already took while you trusted them
The rule of thumb: share with people you trust indefinitely, not just for now. Removal protects your future; only your judgment protects your past. Anyone who tells you their product can "un-share" what a recipient already saw is selling you something.
Practical habits
- Before adding someone to a space, ask: "would I be comfortable with them keeping everything already in it?" — because they can
- Keep long-lived spaces for stable circles (family, your team); use narrower shares for one-off exchanges
- For anything sensitive, verify the identity before you share, not after
