Connect
Network with other SendMeSafe users for permanent, secure data exchange without repeatedly creating links.
Connect allows you to build permanent connections with other SendMeSafe users. Instead of creating new upload or share links for each data exchange, you connect once with your business partners and can then transfer files directly and communicate via the integrated messenger at any time. Ideal for regular business relationships such as accountant-client or lawyer-client.
