What are Enhanced Security Options and why would I want those?
Enhanced Security Options adds top-notch security to know who is downloading the files you sent and allows you to track where your files are going.
Who is this for?
This is for anyone who wants additional security in any files sent. It is great for individuals, small businesses, large corporate enterprises, or anyone who strives for security.
How can I get it?
This feature is available to all paid plans, but not for the Free Plans. You can upgrade at any time to utilize these amazing security features. This functionality is only good when enabled for files sent. It will not work for past files sent without this functionality.
How does it work?
From any paid plan, the feature Recipient Verification is automatically enabled. The feature Download Password is optional and can be used at any time simply by clicking on the icon. The recipient will receive an email from no-reply@sendthisfile.com with instructions on how to download the file and a link that will take them to start the file download process. Once the link is clicked, a new web browser window will open and the recipient has 2 options for verification:
This would be used if the recipient already has an account (paid or free) with SendThisFile and then they can use those credentials to log in to their SendThisFile account to verify that they are the designated recipient. Using this option, the recipient can also sign up for a Free Plan or a paid plan.
2. One time code
This option is used if the recipient does not have an account with SendThisFile or does not want one. Once a code is requested, it is only available for 1 hour. This is for security purposes. If the time has been over an hour and the code has not been used, then the recipient will need to generate another code by clicking “Request Code”.
