Customers utilizing Google Drive for online file storage can now upload files directly to SendSafely using our new Google Drive integration. Files can be attached to both Workspaces and Transfers (Send Items) without having to download the files locally first. Files are uploaded and encrypted client side in the browser, maintaining end-to-end encryption at all times.
Attach from Google Drive is available as a new drop down option alongside the Attach Files button on both Send Items and Workspaces. Clicking the Attach Files button will continue to open the local file picker as always.
Attaching files from the Send Items page:
Attaching files from a Workspace:
After selecting Attach From Google Drive, users are prompted to authenticate to Google and are then presented with their Google Drive file picker.
Selected files are encrypted and uploaded to SendSafely client side in the user's browser, meaning SendSafely never has access to the unencrypted files from Google, maintaining end-to-end encryption at all times.
Upload from Google Drive is available to all SendSafely for Business plans. If you would like to opt-in to this new feature, please contact success@sendsafely.com.
