I found by chance the apparently quite new app Secrets (Github, Youtube) and wanted to write about it briefly.
“Securely and share data with anyone. All data is end-to-end encrypted by the user and will be deleted once retrieved successfullly”
The app seems to be a little bit like PrivateBin but always with option Burn After Reading.
What can the app be used for?
You can use the app to send client side Javascript encrypted text with a url to a recipient e.g. with email. Optional you can use a password protection.
End-to-End-encryption with Javascript in the browser
If the software works correct the data can not be read on the Nextcloud instance because of the E2E-encryption. The part of the url after the hash (#) (AES-key not the password) is never send to the Nextcloud server.
@theCalcaholic: This app is perfect for sending messages like in Mission Impossible I think this function is really great! I’ve tested the app and found 3 things, who can help to make your app even better…
Attachments. This app also should have the possibility to send files like in Mission Impossible
If the sender can set a timeline (how long should the message be displayed after opening) it’s absolute like in Mission Impossible.
Just play a video and afterwards the message is closed
It would be nice if the sender could change the output language.
@oztranet Attachments (or sharing files instead of text) is considered for my roadmap, as is localization. I’m not sure when I will find the time for it, though.
Generally, feature requests are welcome at the Github repository. It’s more likely that I will see (and remember) them there.
We sometimes have the need to share confidential information with a group of people, typically via an e-mail alias or a list of individual e-mail addresses. I understand the security ramifications of doing this, but the convenience of being able to share with a group would be of great operational use. Conceptually, the link would only expire after every user visited it once or its lifetime expired.

For your issue is not the app Secrets. I think then you must generate one Secret for every person. In Nextcloud you can use e.g. Group folders. Also there is an option for a count of downloads. But if one person uses two downloads the last person does not get the download.
