It was one specific example.

- Who has access to the data

- Can a contact access the data

- This is very much a one/two man shop, what happens when you are incapacitated?

- Where is the profit? Or why is it free

Just to give some insight, I have basically three data stores. One is the official legacy, then a system to sent out messages. Which contain instructions (including decryption fast needed financial info) and then a datastore which is downloadable of S3.

This solution would fall in the messages part and fits perfectly. The information in those messages is not something that I would want to be disclosed or accidently sent. The contacts are all not tech savvy so I can't use PGP/GPG or something, they simply wouldn't understand, I can make them remember a password but that's it. One of the best solutions is most likely a system like tresorit send, but then for a message.

I think your solution works for a subset of use cases, but the more digital data you want to give access to the less you trust these solutions.
