BURLINGTON, Mass. -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Today Ziptr announces Ziptr v2.2, making it easier than ever for businesses, independent professionals and individuals to safeguard their privacy, safely communicate online and securely share, store and synchronize confidential files.

Ziptr prioritizes product enhancements and new feature requests based on feedback from existing customers and users. Consistently, business professionals are looking to make secure file exchange easier on their clients.

"We've been thrilled at our clients' feedback; no more complaints or access roadblocks,” comments Thomas R. Pratt, CPA, J.D., Principal with Burkhart Pizzanelli, Certified Public Accountants. “Ziptr automates the security for our employees and gives our clients a solution that adds value to their personal and professional lives. It is a real win-win."

Instead of having a business give clients a unique URL, username and password for the purpose of getting files from that single business, Ziptr users can securely communicate and exchange files with anyone they choose. Ziptr also provides a way for people to safely receive and store their confidential files for future access or to share with others. Content doesn’t disappear after an arbitrary time period or after a password reset.

While much of Ziptr’s user base is made up of professionals in the privacy-conscious accounting industry, Ziptr Founder and CEO Firdaus Bhathena points out, “Everyone has a need to store and share confidential files. When you do your taxes, refinance your home or discuss medical needs of a family member, you deserve a way to do so safely and privately.”

Ziptr offers products for personal use (no-cost) and professionals. For pricing and details, visit: www.ziptr.com/products.
