Keybase Teams
Keybase Teams — End-to-end encrypted team secrets, file sharing, and messaging using PGP-based identity verification.
Our Verdict
Still cryptographically solid, but the stagnation since the Zoom acquisition makes it hard to recommend new.

- PGP-based identity verification built-in
- Free for teams, low setup friction
- Git and KBFS integrations are handy
Cons
