Questions
Is the original changed?
No. You get a new, unencrypted copy; the protected original is untouched.
Do I still need the password?
Yes. Without it there is nothing we can legitimately do.
Security note
Files are checked to be what they claim (by content, not extension), processed in a sandboxed worker with no network, and deleted on the schedule your plan sets. We do not run antivirus and do not claim to — please do not upload files you do not trust. Read the security page.
