SendStuffNow uses Smith Micro’s StuffIt archive format, which employs AES 256-bit encryption technology to protect files and metadata stored in its archive, as well as an RSA 2048-bit key and secure sockets layer to encrypt communications between the client, server, and web browser, the company said in a statement.
In addition, SendStuffNow enables the creation and management of shared file links from PC or mobile device, including iPhones, iPads, and Androids. Users can track the status of pending file deliveries and create invitations to allow additional users access to files already uploaded, directly from a device.
SendStuffNow can store and transmit files up to 2GB in size. A central dashboard allows IT managers to delete uploaded files and rescind invitations on a case-by-case basis. Recipients of files delivered with SendStuffNow click on emailed links to download files through a web browser. This feature, along with the new Outlook plug-in, reduces the burden on corporate exchange servers.
"Since the initial launch of SendStuffNow…we’ve seen tremendous demand from the marketplace. The Outlook plug-in is a perfect example of how we are continually improving the service for enterprises and small-medium businesses to maximize functionality by way of the most secure, cloud-based file delivery service," said Matthew Covington, senior director of product management for Smith Micro Software.
