About

The Concept

Shazzle has created a free, online platform that allows users to share large files and to collaborate on projects with an unprecedented degree of security and convenience. Whether you are using Shazzle Share to send large file attachments to an email inbox or you are sharing files with a community in the Shazzle Network, your files are 100% protected from being accessed by anybody but yourself and the intended recipient. This is because Shazzle harnesses the power of peer-to-peer technology and fuses it with web services, such as email clients and instant messenging communications. Shazzle is the ideal tool for professionals who need to share and collaborate on files containing sensitive information.

The Company

Shazzle is based in Braintree, MA, about 20 minutes south of Boston. A limited liability company, it was founded in 2006 by serial entrepreneur and novelist Clifford Boyle.
Vision

Who Trusts the Public Cloud?

Shazzle allows you to build a virtual private cloud protected by your firewalls and use it to share directly with anyone you invite. Safe, simple, and secure. Better still, NO ONE outside of your group has access to your content. Not even Shazzle. So now it’s not our privacy policy that protects your data, but your own.

Shazzle gives you a virtual private intranet at the click of a button. Add members with a simple link and download, and you can share directly without exposing your content to the privacy risks of the web and the cloud.

Shazzle keeps your files secure by keeping them private. We don’t encrypt on the cloud. We don’t even put you on the cloud. Your documents move directly from you to your recipient without having to touch Shazzle servers. We don’t even get an encrypted, password protected version of your content. Only you and your receiver have it. You maintain physical possession so you do not need to concern yourselves with our search capabilities, privacy policies, vulnerabilities to hackers, or any court’s long reach and subpoena power. Your content is your content. We don’t set policies to assure you we will keep it safe, we have built an architecture so that we never have to receive your content in order to get it delivered.
