How MX Stacks Up Against the Competition

Quick sharing is what WeTransfer does well. Secure, traceable and encrypted sharing is where My MX Data excels, making it better suited to business-critical and compliance-heavy workflows.

It shows strength in Security & Compliance, File Control, Collaboration and Handling Large Files.

Quantum-Ready Encryption – MX applies its ASR methodology to secure files beyond standard encryption methods, countering even quantum-level risks. ℹ️ What does this mean?ASR (Anonymise, Shard, Restore) splits content into anonymised shards, transmits them through separate secure routes, and restores them solely for verified recipients, strengthening protection past AES-256.

Detailed Transfer Records – Every action is timestamped, providing full visibility over who accessed what and when.

Built for GDPR, UK DPA & ISO 27001 – Balances tight encryption with controlled file access.

WeTransfer lacks encryption at rest, exposing files to unnecessary risk.

Google Drive and Dropbox need additional settings to meet higher compliance standards.

Security & Compliance

Named User Access Only – Files are shared exclusively with approved, named accounts, limiting the chance of unauthorised distribution.

Storage Region Selection – Choose a hosting location that matches your compliance and jurisdictional requirements.

🟡Simple File Management – Upload, download, and keep track of exchanges without the extras of a full DMS.

No Ongoing Sync – Built for secure handovers, not for constant synchronisation.

File & Access Management

Fully Encrypted Transfers – Send confidential files through end-to-end encryption with detailed tracking, giving certainty over who accessed each file.

Messaging Linked to Files – Keep all discussions about a file in one secure thread, avoiding fragmented email chains.

Custom Branded Sharing Portals – Your domain, colours, and logo are displayed throughout each transfer, strengthening brand trust.

🟡No Live Document Editing – Make any necessary changes before uploading, as MX focuses purely on secure distribution.

Collaboration

Any Size, Any Time – With MX, there’s no restriction on how large your files can be. Compare that to Google Drive’s 750GB per day limit or WeTransfer’s free 2GB cap.

Encrypted Client Gateways – Create secure, branded portals where clients can upload sensitive material directly. Consumer platforms can’t match this level of controlled, encrypted intake.

No Archival Storage – MX moves files quickly and securely but does not serve as a long-term repository like Dropbox or OneDrive.

FAQs

1
Technology, Security & Compliance
What makes MX different from standard encrypted file sharing services?

MX is built for business-grade encrypted file exchange, going beyond consumer platforms that rely only on AES. While competitors such as Google Drive or WeTransfer encrypt files, they still use centralised storage and link-based sharing which creates exposure. MX applies its quantum secure patented methodology – a process that anonymises, shards, and restores data – which means files are resistant even to emerging quantum computing risks.

  • Named-user access: Files are only exchanged between authorised individuals, not open links.
  • Audit-ready trails: Every transaction is logged with who, when, and where.
  • Expiry controls: Businesses decide how long access lasts, reducing long-term liability.

Research shows the average company shares data with over 800 external domains, many without adequate oversight. MX directly addresses this exposure with strict controls. Learn more on our Features page.

Does MX guarantee compliance with regulations like GDPR or ISO 27001?

MX does not guarantee compliance by itself, but it facilitates adherence to frameworks including GDPR, ISO 27001, and the UK Data Protection Act. Through strong encryption, expiry policies, and detailed logging, MX provides the tools organisations need to demonstrate accountability during audits.

  • GDPR support: Time-limited access and audit logs support lawful data handling.
  • ISO alignment: Records of transfers and security measures simplify audit preparation.
  • Data sovereignty: Organisations can choose where encrypted shards are stored.

Approximately 30% of European firms remain non-compliant with GDPR. MX offers a security-first approach that helps reduce this risk. See more detail on our GDPR and ISO Compliance pages.

How strong is MX encryption for business file transfers?

MX employs a dual-layer approach. Files are protected with 256-bit AES encryption (industry standard) and then processed with our ASR methodology, which anonymises, shards, and restores data across separate nodes. Even if one shard was intercepted, it would be useless in isolation. This process future-proofs against threats where conventional encryption may fall short.

Adoption of quantum-resistant encryption is still minimal – 0.029% for OpenSSH A recent study on cryptographic adoption highlights that very few platforms currently deploy quantum-resistant algorithms. MX’s ASR design proactively prepares for this risk.

Efficiency & Business Value
How does MX improve team productivity through encrypted file sharing?

Traditional encryption solutions often introduce friction — from complex password-sharing to lengthy setup. MX solves this by combining strong encryption with simplicity. Staff can share files as easily as sending an email, while administrators retain visibility and control.

  • No Extra Steps: Encryption is applied automatically, without manual configuration.
  • Clear Audit Trails: Reduce time spent verifying if files reached the right recipient.
  • Expiry Rules: Files disappear when no longer needed, cutting down clutter.

According to CSO Online, 61% of businesses cite “complexity” as a barrier to wider encryption use. MX eliminates that barrier, making encryption a productivity tool instead of an obstacle. Learn more on our Features page.

Can MX reduce costs associated with secure file handling?

Yes. MX helps organisations avoid hidden costs tied to traditional storage and compliance systems. By focusing on encrypted exchange rather than permanent storage, MX reduces the overhead of managing growing archives, while also lowering the risk of expensive breaches.

  • No Data Hoarding: Expiry rules keep file volumes manageable.
  • Lower Audit Costs: Built-in logs replace the need for manual compliance tracking.
  • Breach Prevention: With the average incident costing $4.45m (IBM), proactive security avoids financial shocks.

How does encrypted sharing with MX build client and partner trust?

Trust is critical in professional relationships, and nothing undermines it faster than a data leak. By delivering files through a dedicated, encrypted portal, MX shows clients and partners that their information is treated with the highest level of care. Unlike consumer-grade tools, every transaction is private, logged, and temporary.

  • Professional Image: Clients interact with a secure, branded portal instead of a consumer app.
  • Data Assurance: Recipients know files are encrypted end-to-end, not left on public links.
  • Regulatory Confidence: Encrypted exchanges reduce reputational risk during audits.

A Salesforce survey found that 74% of customers say trust influences loyalty. MX strengthens that loyalty by making security visible. See how businesses benefit in our Case Studies.

What competitive advantage does encrypted sharing with MX provide?

MX helps organisations differentiate themselves by offering quantum-secure encrypted exchanges as part of their service. This sets a higher standard of care than simply storing files in a general cloud environment. For industries where data handling can win or lose contracts, this becomes a significant business advantage.

  • Regulated Markets: Legal, finance, and healthcare clients prefer vendors with advanced safeguards.
  • Enterprise Readiness: Shows capability to handle high-value, sensitive projects.
  • Brand Reputation: Demonstrates commitment to modern data protection.

With global enterprise encryption adoption growing annually (Statista), MX positions businesses ahead of the curve. Learn more about aligning security with corporate goals in our Blog.
