Use Case
Document requests
Collect files from counterparties through a link. They upload in their browser with no account. Files arrive locked to your vault, and only you can open them.
Who:Beneficial Owners & Controllers collecting files from lawyers, accountants, company secretaries, investors, or any counterparty.
Documents: Signed resolutions, ownership charts, bank letters, incorporation certificates, or any file a counterparty needs to send you.
Replaces: Email attachments, ad hoc upload portals, and shared folders where you cannot control who sees what.
Control: Client-side encryption locked to your vault, no counterparty account required, full audit trail.
The Flow
From link to locked file in your vault
Counterparties never need an account. Encryption happens in their browser before upload.

How It Works
Four steps to collect a file
You send a link. The counterparty uploads. The file arrives encrypted and locked to your vault.
Create a request
Specify what you need and who should receive the link. The request is tied to a vault and its public key.
Counterparty uploads
They open the link, verify their email, and upload files in their browser. No account is required.
Encrypted on arrival
Each file is encrypted with AES-256-GCM and locked to your vault public key before it reaches 1Bridge. We store ciphertext only.
You open it
Files appear in your vault as normal documents. Only your private key can open them once the vault is unlocked.
Team Delegation
Delegates can send requests on your behalf
Ops or legal can create document requests without seeing document contents or keys.
Delegates can
- Create document requests for counterparties
- Specify required documents and recipients
- Track request status and resend links
Delegates cannot
- Decrypt or view uploaded files
- Access your vault private key
- Approve outbound shares without you
You always
- Hold the keys that open received files
- See every file in your vault documents
- Revoke outstanding requests
Positioning
Where this fits
Document requests handle inbound collection. Secure sharing handles outbound access.
vs email attachments: Files are encrypted before they leave the counterparty's browser and locked to your vault, not sent as plaintext.
vs shared folders: No standing access for the counterparty. They upload once through a purpose-bound link.
vs secure sharing: Sharing sends your documents out. Document requests collect files in. Both use the same encryption foundation.
