In truth, kpf does include various measures designed to help
prevent the user accidentally providing access to sensitive
information. There is no password protection and no encryption.
This is by design, as will be explained.
The more security measures that are added to a service, the
safer people feel when using it. Sadly, to ensure real security,
the user needs to have a good understanding of the issues involved.
For example, providing password protection is no use if the user
does not know how to pick a good password. Therefore the decision
was made to provide zero security, in the hope that the user will
find it easier to understand what this means than to spend months
or years learning about the complexities of network security.
The concept is simple. If you specify that a folder is
shared, it's shared to the world. If you don't want to make
it available to the world, don't share it.
