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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my business partner also need to use SendMeSafe?

Yes, Connect only works between SendMeSafe users. For one-time file transfers to external parties, use upload links or share links.

What happens if I decline a connection request?

The sender is notified that the request was declined. They cannot send further requests to you until you allow it.

Can I disconnect an existing connection?

Yes, you can disconnect connections at any time. Both parties then lose direct access to messenger and file transfer.

Are messages and files deleted when disconnecting?

Already transferred files remain. The chat history is archived but no longer accessible.

How many connections can I have?

The number of connections depends on your plan. The Starter plan includes 10 connections, Pro and Team offer unlimited connections.

Are there costs per connection?

No, connections are included in your plan. There are no additional costs per connection or message.

Best Practices

  • Carefully review incoming connection requests before accepting them.
  • Use meaningful organization names for better discoverability.
  • Disconnect connections to inactive business partners promptly.
  • Inform your team about new connections and their purpose.

Tips

  • Use Connect for regular business relationships where you frequently exchange documents.
  • Add a meaningful message to your connection request so the recipient knows what it's about.
  • Organize your connections by categories (clients, suppliers, partners) for better overview.
  • Use the messenger for quick discussions instead of writing separate emails.

Security

  • E2E encryption for Messenger messages is available when both participants have set up and unlocked encryption.
  • File transfers are made via secure, encrypted connections.
  • Connection requests require explicit consent from both parties.
  • When disconnecting, access is immediately and completely revoked.
