How is Sage AssuredSend different from email?
Email attachment size and security are limited. You can't securely email confidential documents nor can you send large file attachments. Sage AssuredSend provides the same ease-of-use as email without security or file size limitations. It provides you with a simple system for sending sensitive files of any type with confidence.

No. Sage AssuredSend is specifically designed for sending and receiving files on the Internet. Files are uploaded only for delivery. Once a file has been delivered, it is automatically deleted. This focus makes the service much more convenient and easier to use.

Do receivers have to sign up for Sage AssuredSend?
No, you can send a file to anyone with an email address.
Can I send more than one file at a time?
Yes. On the send page, click the "more files" link to increase the number of files you can send. You can send as many files in one transfer as you like, but only if the total size of all the files is within the maximum file size total based on your service plan. For example, if you have a Standard Account, you can send any number of files in one transfer as long as the total size of all the files together is under 500MB.
How big of a file can I send through Sage AssuredSend?
With a Standard Account, you can send a file as large as 500MB. With a Professional Account, the largest file you can send is up to 1GB. If you have an Ultra Account, you are able to send a file up to 2GB. However, as mentioned previously, you are limited to the maximum file size total in each transfer, so if you have a Standard Account, you can send one 500MB file, or five hundred 1MB files in one transfer.

For each transfer, you can choose an option to require authentication from the recipient, either by entering in the recipient's email address or create a security question with the answer that only the recipient will know. Additionally, the application has detailed log tracking features, so you will know which recipient has received the notification email and downloaded the files, what time the files were downloaded, and which IP address the download occurred at.
Can I send the files from an existing transfer without uploading?
Yes. You can forward one or all the files from a pending transfer to one or more receivers.
