Phase 2: Teach Your Users How Secure Share Works
Outbound: Sending Files via Secure Share
Secure Share gives you a quick and easy way to securely share files with anyone. This is especially great for large files as secure share can handle up to 15GB per file.
Inbound: Requesting Files via Secure Share
Use your unique Secure Share link that invites collaborators to safely share files with you. You can share the link with individuals, or you can insert it into key workflows such as email signatures, websites, intake forms, and more. (Here is how to access a file once someone has shared it with you via your unique link.)
Securely Share a File Without Virtru Installed
Sign on with an existing provider or a one-time verification link. Then upload files, set access controls, leave a visible message to your recipient, and go.
Accessing a File Sent With Secure Share
External users can verify identity with an existing provider, then decrypt and access files. They'll only have the permissions you've set for them.
