After logging in, you can compose a secure message directly in the portal:
- Enter the recipient’s email address (multiple recipients are possible).
- Add a subject and your message text.
- Attach files — there is practically no size limit for files sent with FileCap.
- Choose how long the transfer stays available (in days) and how many times the files may be downloaded. When either limit is reached, the link stops working.
- Choose the verification method the recipient must use to open the transfer:
Verification code by email (default) — the recipient receives a code by email and enters it on the portal.
SMS verification — the code is sent by text message; enter the recipient’s mobile number.
Password — you choose a password and share it with the recipient yourself.
Company password — a pre-agreed password for exchanging files with another organization.
Depending on your organization’s configuration, you can also combine two verification methods for extra security.
- Click send. The recipients receive an email with a secure link to your message.
If configured, you will receive a confirmation of your sent message, and additional notifications when a recipient reads the message or downloads the files.
Retracting a message: after sending, you receive a notification from the FileCap server containing a unique link. Click it and confirm to retract the message and delete the attachments — even after a recipient has already opened the message.
