Secure Remote Send lets you send a file to anyone, anywhere, over the internet, even when you are not on the same Wi-Fi. There is nothing to set up: no accounts, no router settings. You send, DropCopy gives you a link, and the other person opens it in their web browser.
The person you sent it to opens the link in any web browser, on a Mac, PC, phone or tablet, and downloads the file. They don't need DropCopy, and they don't need an account.
Yes. The file is encrypted on your device before it leaves. The key that unlocks it is in the part of the link after the "#", and web browsers never send that part to our server. So the server only ever stores scrambled data, and we cannot read your files. After 30 minutes the link expires.
You get 5 free transfers, then Secure Remote Send costs $0.99 a month. Sending between your own devices on the same network stays free, as it always has.
