SendThisFileProtected handoffSent to the wrong person
A mistyped address or forwarded link can expose the file.
Data loss prevention for file sharing
Stay in control when you send sensitive files.
Paid plans add recipient verification and password-protected downloads. Every transfer has a set availability window, and Activity shows what happened after you sent it.
Start with the handoff
Sensitive files can go wrong in ordinary ways.
Shared through an unsafe route
Email attachments and open links are easy to forward beyond the intended recipient.
Available for too long
A file can remain available after the work is finished.
No clear outcome
The sender may never know whether the recipient downloaded the file.
When dedicated DLP is needed
Dedicated DLP and SendThisFile have different jobs.
Dedicated data loss prevention software can scan files for sensitive information and flag or block risky sharing through email, cloud storage, endpoints, and other channels. SendThisFile has a different job: it gives people a controlled way to deliver files.
You do not need a DLP suite to use SendThisFile. If your goal is to send sensitive files more safely and see what happened afterward, SendThisFile works on its own.
Inside SendThisFile
Control the handoff before, during, and after delivery.
See the complete SendThisFile workflow or learn how Activity shows transfer outcomes.
Before — Prepare the transfer: Add the intended recipient. SendThisFile applies the availability window included with your plan, and you can end access sooner when needed.
During — Protect the download: Paid plans can require recipient verification and a download password.
After — See the outcome: Review transfer and download activity in Activity.
How it works in practice
Three ways organizations use SendThisFile.
Use SendThisFile directly
A safer handoff for a small professional office
A legal, accounting, consulting, or similar office can use SendThisFile without purchasing a DLP suite. Standard or Business adds a controlled delivery route, recipient protections, and visible transfer activity.
Already use DLP?
Make SendThisFile an approved way to send files.
Your organization decides which files may be sent. Once a transfer is approved, a team member starts it in SendThisFile and addresses it to the intended recipient.

Content-aware protectionCommon questions
Questions before you choose a path
Do I need DLP software to use SendThisFile?
No. SendThisFile works on its own. Use it to address files to intended recipients, add paid recipient protections, use a clear availability window, and see transfer activity.
What is data loss prevention for file sharing?
Data loss prevention combines policies and software that identify sensitive information and reduce unsafe sharing. Dedicated DLP products may scan files and block or flag movement through email, endpoints, cloud storage, and other channels.
Can SendThisFile work alongside our existing DLP?
Yes. Your organization can designate SendThisFile as an approved delivery route for transfers it permits. A team member then starts the transfer in SendThisFile.
Does SendThisFile integrate with DLP software?
Standard and Business do not include an off-the-shelf DLP connector. If you need SendThisFile connected to your existing identity or security environment, tell us about those requirements as part of a Fullstack conversation.
Which SendThisFile controls can support a safer handoff?
Paid plans add recipient verification and password-protected downloads. Every transfer has a set availability window, access can be ended sooner, and Activity shows transfer and download status.
Is SendThisFile an SFTP service?
No. SendThisFile is a browser-based file transfer service rather than an SFTP server. If you are evaluating a more specialized transfer environment, tell us what you need and we can discuss whether Fullstack is a fit.
How long do files remain available?
Files are available for 7 days on Free, 14 days on Standard, and 30 days on Business. The owner can end access sooner.
