Protection travels with the file
The protected delivery asset is created before the send, so the recipient receives the protected experience instead of a raw document.

Protect files before sharing them
If a file matters after it leaves your inbox, protect it before sharing it. SentinelLolge is designed for exactly that moment: before the attachment is forwarded, copied, downloaded, or passed around outside your own systems.
Works across common business files
Use it for contracts, spreadsheets, proposals, PDFs, source archives, financial packs, and private customer documents.
Scales from simple to strict
Start with protected browser-based delivery and add expiry or connected rule checks when the use case needs more discipline.
How this workflow works
Practical guidance for Protect File Before Sharing
Why protect a file before sending it
Once a raw file is sent, copied, or re-uploaded somewhere else, the original sender usually loses meaningful control. Storage security may still matter, but it no longer protects the file that actually moved. Protecting the file before sharing changes the order of operations. The sender prepares the protected handoff first and only then shares the result, which is a much better fit for documents that continue to matter after delivery.
What changes in the workflow
Instead of thinking about access control as something that lives only inside a portal, SentinelLolge lets the sender package the control model with the delivery itself. Depending on the selected workflow, that can mean browser-based unlocking, preview-friendly presentation, time-limited access, or stricter connected rule checks. The important shift is that the sender is no longer treating the outgoing attachment as an uncontrolled copy of the original file.
When this route is the right starting point
Use this page when the main question is broad: how do we stop sharing raw files? It is the best starting point for internal review material, finance attachments, customer documents, due-diligence files, legal drafts, or any file that should not become permanently open the moment it is downloaded by the recipient.

Frequently asked questions
Protect files before sharing them FAQ
How do I protect a file before sharing it?
Open SentinelLolge, choose the file you want to protect, set a password, configure any security settings you need, generate the protected export, and share that protected result instead of the raw file.
What kinds of files can this workflow fit?
SentinelLolge can password-protect all types of files, including PDFs, contracts, spreadsheets, proposals, reports, archives, and private client documents.
Why is protecting the file before sending better than relying on storage security?
Because storage controls often stop helping once the raw file is attached to email or forwarded elsewhere. Protecting the handoff itself keeps the control model closer to the asset that actually moves.
Can I add stricter rules later?
Yes. If the workflow needs more than simple protected delivery, a signed-in paid Strict Mode export can add expiry, read-only behavior, unlock limits, or connected rule checks.

Stricter controlled delivery
When needed, pair the handoff with expiry, read-only access, unlock limits, or recipient-aware checks.
Designed for real business files
Use it for PDFs, contracts, invoices, proposals, reports, archives, and other sensitive documents that should not become raw open attachments.

Guide / Product overview
What is SentinelLolge?
SentinelLolge is a browser-first file protection product from Lolge Labs for people who need to protect files before sharing them. It is built around the delivery moment: before a file is emailed, forwarded, copied, or sent outside the system where it was originally stored.
Protect before sharing
SentinelLolge helps the sender prepare a protected delivery experience first, so the protection can move with the file instead of depending on a separate portal later.
Browser-first workflow
The standard flow keeps original file contents local in the browser while producing a protected unlock package that recipients can open in modern browsers.
Controlled delivery paths
When a use case needs more than a simple protected handoff, stricter workflows can add expiry, unlock limits, read-only behavior, and recipient-aware access checks.

Guide / PDF protection
Protect PDF files before sharing
PDFs are one of the most common formats for invoices, proposals, agreements, policies, and customer documents. SentinelLolge helps protect a PDF before sharing it so the sender is not relying on the recipient to handle the raw file securely afterward.
Good use cases
Protect invoices, pricing sheets, board packs, signed agreements, and review copies before sending them outside your own team.
Preview-friendly delivery
PDF-based workflows fit well with preview-oriented unlock experiences where the chosen rules allow it, making the protected handoff easier for recipients.
Expiry and access rules
For stricter workflows, you can pair the protected PDF delivery path with expiry schedules, unlock limits, or read-only behavior before the document is sent.
Guide / Delivery control
Secure file delivery for sensitive documents
Secure file delivery is about more than storing a file safely. It is about how the document is handed off, what the recipient sees, what rules travel with the file, and how much control the sender keeps after sharing. SentinelLolge is built around that delivery moment.
Delivery-focused protection
The workflow protects the document before it leaves you, so the handoff itself is controlled instead of depending only on the security of the destination system.
Standard and strict paths
Use the standard browser-first delivery flow for offline-friendly protection, or choose stricter delivery controls when you need expiry, unlock rules, or recipient-aware access steps.
Fits real business handoffs
This route is useful for investor materials, customer reports, legal documents, vendor exchanges, design handoffs, and financial records that need stronger control during delivery.
Guide / Intended-recipient delivery
Intended-recipient delivery and stricter access checks
Some protected files should only be opened by the intended person, not simply anyone who receives the package. SentinelLolge supports stricter delivery workflows for senders who want stronger intended-recipient control around sensitive handoffs.
Why it matters
Confidential files are often sent to a named reviewer, signer, or customer contact, yet plain attachments are easy to forward. Recipient-aware controls help align document access with the intended audience.
What this helps with
Use it for customer-specific reports, approval packets, renewal terms, employee paperwork, and procurement documents where a plain password on a raw file is not enough.
Practical limit
The goal is stronger delivery discipline and intended-recipient control. It should not be treated as a guarantee against every forwarding, capture, or endpoint-side risk.
Guide / Expiry controls
File expiry links and time-limited document access
Some documents should only stay available during a review window, an approval deadline, or a short-lived client exchange. SentinelLolge supports protected delivery paths where expiry is part of the file-sharing workflow instead of an afterthought.
Reduce long-tail exposure
Expiry helps lower the chance that an old shared document stays accessible indefinitely after the reason for sharing has ended.
Good fits
Use it for short review cycles, temporary customer approvals, expiring invoice access, diligence material, and one-time protected document delivery.
Works with stricter rules
Pair time-limited access with unlock limits, read-only behavior, or recipient-aware controls when the document sensitivity requires a tighter handoff.
Finance workflow
Protect invoices before sending them
Invoices often include customer details, payment information, and approval context that should not remain exposed after delivery. SentinelLolge helps teams protect invoices before sending them so the invoice handoff stays controlled.
Safer invoice delivery
Share a protected delivery asset instead of a raw invoice attachment that can be forwarded or stored indefinitely.
Fits finance review windows
Use expiry-aware delivery when invoices, statements, or billing packs only need to stay available during a short approval or payment cycle.
Useful for client-facing billing
This route fits client invoices, payment summaries, credit notes, and finance records that should stay protected after they leave your team.
Legal workflow
Protect contracts before emailing them
Contracts move through review threads, approvals, and external inboxes where plain attachments are easy to forward. SentinelLolge helps legal and commercial teams protect contracts before emailing them so the agreement stays controlled after the send.
Built for email-heavy reviews
Use a protected delivery path instead of sending the raw agreement first and hoping the thread stays private.
Supports recipient-aware delivery
Stricter workflows can help align access with a named reviewer, signer, or customer contact when a contract should not be broadly opened.
Useful for agreements and renewals
Use it for MSAs, vendor contracts, employment agreements, renewal terms, and other legal files that need tighter handoff control.
Confidential sharing
Share confidential documents securely
Confidential files should stay controlled after the send, not just while they are stored internally. SentinelLolge helps teams share confidential documents securely by protecting the file before it leaves the sender.
Designed for sensitive files
Use it for legal documents, finance packs, customer records, board materials, credentials, and private reports.
Works from simple to strict
Start with browser-first protected delivery, then add expiry, unlock rules, or recipient-aware checks for higher-risk handoffs.
Keeps protection close to the asset
The workflow is built so confidentiality travels with the document instead of depending entirely on where the recipient stores it.
Client delivery
Send secure client files
Client documents often include exactly the material that should stay controlled after delivery: invoices, reports, contracts, approvals, and private records. SentinelLolge helps you send secure client files without relying on raw attachments alone.
Fits recurring client handoffs
Use it for billing documents, onboarding packs, monthly reports, signed paperwork, and customer-specific approvals.
Good for expiring access
Pair client delivery with expiry when access should end after the review, approval, or payment window closes.
Supports named-recipient delivery
Use stricter controlled access when a particular customer contact or reviewer should be the one opening the protected file.
