Items you send via email or share through online services like Dropbox can fall into the wrong hands. With SendSafely, nobody can access your information other than you and the people you share with.
You can send anything to anyone using SendSafely. There's nothing to install, and the people you share with don't need to register with us. We've made it as simple as possible...if you can use a web browser, you can use SendSafely.
We give each user their own person URL that anyone can use to send them items securely, even if they don't have a SendSafely account. Any time you send something with SendSafely, your recipients can also reply back to you.
Services like Dropbox only encrypt your files in transit. Once uploaded, they have full access to all of your information. With SendSafely, nobody can see your data other than the people you give access to...not even us.
With SendSafely, your information is encrypted before it ever leaves your machine. We use OpenPGP encryption with AES-256, widely recognized as one of the most reliable and proven encryption protocols available today.
