To simplify the end-to-end-encryption workflow, a private key can be created when sharing with a new user. This private key will be stored AES encrypted in the database and new users will receive an email with the password.
Upon first login new users unlock the initial private key with the password and a new key pair will be created. Shared files are reencrypted with the new key on the fly and the initial private key will be deleted.
The password itself is only delivered by email and never stored.
