Why encrypt files before sharing them?

Cloud storage, email, USB drives, and messaging platforms make sharing files easy, but they are not designed to keep sensitive information private. Encrypting files before they leave your device ensures that only someone with the correct password can access the contents, even if the files are intercepted or stored on third-party services.
