Send Large Files with RMail

How to Securely Send Large Files with a Few Simple Steps

Imagine spending days preparing a client presentation that runs into hundreds of megabytes. It can be frustrating when after cross-checking everything and hitting the “send” button on your Outlook or Gmail, you are greeted with the message, “File size too large.”

As much as you’d like to believe it, email accounts can’t store that much data, and email service providers do impose size limits on the attachments, impeding your ability to do business. For instance, Outlook allows you to send a maximum of 20MB for every email attachment for all versions, while with Gmail, you can share files up to 25MB in one go.

When this happens, your first instinct is to either break file attachments to reduce the size to comply with the size limits or look for easy file transfer options like cloud storage services. While the former option is time-consuming and practically infeasible, the latter option is fraught with several challenges. For instance, when senders send a shared link to a recipient through a cloud storage service, they might have questions like:

• What will the recipient see?
• Will the recipient see all the names of people who have access?
• Will they see folder names in the folder structure?
• Can they get access to other folders?
• What if other documents are added to the folder in the future, and no one is monitoring who had access in the past?

If you are not thinking about these issues and are sending large files from your main cloud storage platform, you should!

What if you never have to worry about opting for an external cloud storage service and send large files securely without leaving your standard email interfaces like Outlook or Gmail? RMail, a global email security solution from RPost, addresses these challenges head-on with its built-in, LargeMail™ file transfer feature. The fastest way to send files, RMail allows you to send large files up to 1GB – without leaving your email interface.

Benefits of Sending Large Files with RMail

Not just one but a range of benefits:

• No signup or installs needed for the recipients to download.
• Send documents with a cumulative size of up to 1 GB, including large videos and hi-resolution pictures.
• Send files securely to any recipient with encryption and configurable self-purging options.
• Receive a Registered Receipt™ as a proof of delivery to the sender.
• Receive real-time notification of downloads.
• Automatically send files via LargeMail™ service when file attachments exceed a specified total file size.
• Simple manual settings to let the sender decide when to use LargeMail service.

Additional RMail Features for Seamless File Sharing

• For every email message, RMail returns timestamped download records for court-admissible proof of delivery.
• RMail automatically encrypts your emails and attachments so you don’t have to worry about securely sending big files separately. Recipients will receive your encrypted email to their inboxes just as any other message.

• RMail File Share feature sets up a one-time-box not associated with the sender’s file directory, which means your file system and directory names aren’t exposed to your recipients and continue to stay secure.
• All the email attachments auto-purge after a set time (that you can configure) to minimize the risk of future unauthorized access to shared content, and to comply with data privacy laws and regulations.
• RMail offers “Automatic Activation Settings,” which allow you to pre-select a maximum threshold whereby automatically, if cumulative attachments exceed the threshold, the LargeMail service will be activated and used. So, if you have set the limit as 10MB, any email with the attachment size exceeding 10MB, will be automatically sent via LargeMail – you don’t have to check the option again!
• RMail also tracks your shared files by offering a certified proof of your email content, delivery, and timestamp – essentially a perfect record of who opened which file and when. It also helps you manage your file transfers.

Once you have transferred files, your recipients will get your message with a shared link to download standalone or shared files. You can optionally add passwords or other encryption levels for privacy.

Easily Share Large Files with RMail

Many business users have several concerns when sending a large file:

• Files may be stored long after the intended duration.
  
• Not knowing if the recipient is being requested to sign up for an account to access files.
  
• Seeing the “pending” delivery status of an invitation email and not knowing if the invitation went missing or if the recipient simply did not or could not access the download link.
  
• Not knowing who might have “administrative access” to see shared files.
  

RMail addresses these concerns head-on with its robust email and email attachment encryption, proof of delivery, and secure large file transfer capabilities. Several customers have found RMail’s large file share feature extremely useful to accelerate the speed of doing business.
