Ever hit “send” on your safedrop and immediately realise you missed something?

Forgot a recipient. Shared the wrong file. Sent the right message to the wrong person.

Yeah, we’ve all been there.

That’s why we’ve added a new feature to safedrop: you can now edit a sent drop. No need to delete and resend. No disruption. No hassle.

What you can do (right now) on safedrop:

With this new feature, you can:

  • Add or remove recipients at any time
  • ✏️ Update your message to reflect changes or add context
  • 🗑️ Delete or replace files in a live safedrop
  • 📥 And your recipients will always see the latest version

Why we built this

In high-trust environments, legal, finance, and healthcare, you don’t get a second chance to look sloppy. People expect speed and precision but mistakes still happen.

This feature is for those real moments:

  • You forgot to CC a client
  • Someone left the project halfway through
  • The file had a small error
  • You needed to redact and re-upload, fast

Now you can fix it in seconds. Quietly. Cleanly. Without confusing your recipients or cluttering their inbox.

How it works

Head to your Sent safedrops, select the drop, and click “Edit.” You’ll be able to:

  • Add or remove recipients
  • Change the message
  • Delete or upload new files

The drop link stays the same. Your recipient sees the new version instantly.

It’s smooth. It’s controlled and it keeps you looking polished.

Part of a bigger picture

The new feature fits into our mission to make secure sharing not just safe, but simple.

safedrop already gives you:

  • Zero-login access for recipients
  • Read receipts and audit trails
  • Encryption from end to end
  • Watermarks, expiry dates, and full control
  • And now, post-send editing, because things change

Already sent a drop you need to fix?

Go ahead, give it a tweak.

This update’s live now. Try it today.
