In this article we will show you how to send files securely when using the 'Public files' of Smartlockr. When choosing the option ‘Public files’, your files are sent with encryption, but there is no authentication. This means that anyone with access to the file link will be able to open it.

The message is also not encrypted when using the option ’Public files’ and will therefore be displayed in the initial email to the recipient, rather than in the secure channel.

Step 1: Write your email and attach files as you usually would, after choosing ‘Public files’ in the drop-down menu.


Step 2: Click ‘send’.

Step 4: Confirm your recipients and click 'send'. Your message has now been sent!
