How to use the plugin

Sending a safedrop

Compose your email as normal within Outlook. In the menu ribbon, in the safedrop section, select send with safedrop.

Attaching files

You can attach files using our Outlook plugin in two ways:

Files less than the Outlook limit (<20MB): Attach files as normal by either drag and drop, or via the attachment menu option.

Files greater than the Outlook limit (>20MB): Select attach via safedrop, and select your file(s) from the File Explorer window that appears. You’ll notice that a unique file appears as an attachment that will upload your files to the safedrop upon sending your email.

Additional options

Request-Reply – This enables secure conversations to be had within your safedrop.

Self-Destruct – Enabling this will only allow a single view or download of your safedrop.

View-Only – Makes your safedrop visible on screen for preview, but not for download.

Please Note: All safedrops are currently sent with 7-day expiry & Magic Link Authorisation when using the Outlook plugin. This may change as we release future updates. This guide will be updated accordingly if this changes.

Config options for Enterprise plans

By default, authentication tokens will expire 14 days after login. Users will not be asked to re-login during this time.

This can be changed to any period, either after inactivity or a fixed time after login. Just ask us to set this up for you.
