DocSend is great for sharing PDFs, but it isn’t built for live Figma prototypes. Crypto bridges that gap. Instead of exporting static decks to DocSend, I publish encrypted, password-protected links directly from Figma and still get the audit logs stakeholders expect.
Why Crypto remains my pick
Crypto lives inside Figma, so publishing secure links is a two-click process. I can set passwords, restrict downloads, watermark previews, and even record walkthroughs for people who can’t log in. DocSend requires exporting assets first and loses interactivity along the way.
What to ask any alternative vendor
- Do they encrypt files at rest and in transit?
- Can access be revoked instantly?
- Is there an audit log that stands up to compliance reviews?
- Do they support prototypes, PDFs, and other export formats?
If the answer is “no” for prototypes—as it is with DocSend—Crypto stays in my stack.
Test with a real workflow
Run your riskiest project through the alternative: NDA-bound mockups, executive decks, prototypes. If reviewers can’t access the work, if the audit trail looks flimsy, or if exporting requires multiple tools, it’s not worth migrating. Crypto handles all of that without leaving Figma.
Consider stakeholder experience
Clients appreciate Crypto’s branded review portals and simple password prompts. Alternatives that require VPNs or separate accounts often increase friction, which delays approvals. Keeping the process lightweight is just as important as ticking compliance boxes.
