Using the Outlook Plugin
The Secure Attach button will appear in the ribbon (toolbar) only when creating or replying to a message.
These are the selectable options in the Secure Transfer Secure Attach Dropdown menu:
- Secure Attach — any file you would normally attach using the attach icon on Outlook can be attached using this Secure Attach button instead. This will cause any file attached to the email to be sent using Secure Transfer.
- Attach Folder — you can also attach a folder at once and all files in this folder will be attached to this email.
- Secure Attach All — the Outlook plugin will automatically send large files through Secure Transfer. If you have a combination of larger and smaller attachments, that means that some will go through Secure Transfer and some direct. By Selecting Secure Attach All, all files, large and small, will be sent through Secure Transfer.
- File Request — use Secure Transfer to request a large and/or sensitive file from someone. The recipient of the File Request will receive a link they can use and any files attached will be delivered safely back to you.
- Private Message — this will cause the body of the email to be sent securely through Secure Transfer with or without any attachments. You will get confirmation when someone has opened your email as well as downloaded any attachments.
- Select Existing Files — this will list already uploaded files from previous messages that you can send again without having to upload.
- Options — configure the Secure Transfer Outlook plugin.
