FAQs
Your Top Questions Answered
01. What are the benefits of MX for small business file sharing?
MX gives small businesses the tools to share files securely – without the complexity or risk that often comes with consumer-grade platforms. Whether you’re handling client contracts, supplier documents, or sensitive financial data, MX offers enterprise-grade protection in a streamlined, affordable format.
Unlike traditional file sharing tools that rely on public links or unmonitored access, MX enforces named-user-only exchanges. This means files are only accessible by the people you explicitly choose, and every interaction is logged for visibility and accountability.
Top benefits for small businesses include:

- Simplified User Controls: Easily manage who can view, download, or upload – even across multiple clients or suppliers.
- Branded File Portals: Share files with a professional, white-labelled experience under your own domain.
- Security Without the Overhead: Get encryption, compliance support, and audit trails – without needing a full IT team. Learn more on our features page.
Research shows that 46% of all cyber breaches target businesses with fewer than 1,000 employees. That makes strong file security not just a luxury – but a necessity.
With MX, small businesses can confidently share files, protect sensitive data, and deliver a more professional experience – all without stretching their budget or resources.

MX delivers enterprise-grade encryption, secure portals, and real-time tracking – at a price that works for startups, freelancers, and growing firms.
Whether you’re handling client documents, internal files, or external collaboration, MX helps small teams look professional and stay compliant without the complexity of traditional enterprise tools.

03. How does MX ensure data privacy for GDPR compliance?

With built-in encryption, user-level access control, and complete activity logging, MX ensures that personal and sensitive data is only handled by authorised individuals under clear, auditable policies.
From client files to internal records, every interaction is logged and encrypted, giving your business the ability to demonstrate accountability – a core requirement of the UK GDPR and UK Data Protection Act. This is especially useful for SMEs without dedicated compliance teams.
MX’s privacy-focused features include:
- End-to-End Encryption: Files are anonymised, sharded, and encrypted – ensuring data cannot be accessed or reconstructed by unauthorised users.
