If you need to collect sensitive data from customers, like social security numbers or credit card information, using a web form can be an attractive option. Using web forms, however, can present a serious exposure to you and your customers if you do not take adequate steps to secure the information from unauthorized access. This blog post will explain how to use the SendSafely Dropzone API to build a web form that uses end-to-end encryption for protecting submitted data.

The SendSafely Dropzone is one of our most popular features - a simple and secure file drop that allows your customers to easily upload sensitive files and confidential documents. Until now, only the SendSafely user who owns the Dropzone was able to manage the list of users who have access to uploaded files. 

As our larger customers began to deploy and manage multiple Dropzones within their organization, it became evident that we needed to provide a more streamlined and centralized way to administer Dropzone user lists. With our latest Dropzone API update, SendSafely enterprise administrators can now manage recipient lists for any Dropzone in their SendSafely portal. 

We recently released two note-worthy updates to our SendSafely for Zendesk Agent Sidebar app. The app now supports rendering of encrypted messages (text) that is submitted by the user and more granular control of outbound files. Both new features are accessible to all SendSafely enterprise customers and are summarized in this blog post. 

Many users have asked for the ability to suppress the package expiration and download notifications that SendSafely emails when items you send are downloaded and/or expire. In order to address this, we recently added the ability for users to opt-out of these notification emails by updating their SendSafely profile. 

In a previous blog post, we reviewed the basics of connecting the SendSafely Dropzone to Zapier using a simple action (sending an email) for each Dropzone submission. If you are not already familiar with SendSafely's Zapier app, we strongly encourage you to read it before continuing on.

In this follow up post, we present a more complex Zap that connects the Dropzone to Slack. We will be adding a Zapier Action that sends a message to a specific Slack Channel every time a new item gets submitted to the Dropzone. 

SendSafely is used by thousands of people all over the world to submit sensitive files every day. In order to better support customers across geographical and language barriers, we are rolling out the first phase of a long-term initiative to enable support for multiple languages across the SendSafely platform. We decided to start with our most frequently used component, the SendSafely Dropzone. 

SendSafely is excited to announce our newest platform integration - SendSafely for Salesforce Service Cloud. Organizations that use Service Cloud can now securely exchange inbound and outbound files with the added security and peace of mind of SendSafely's end-to-end encryption. 

You asked for it, and here it is! We are excited to announce our newest Dropzone features: Support for Encrypted Messages and Sender Email Verification. These features were developed based on feedback we received from several of our current customers. 

At SendSafely we are genuinely passionate about the problems we try to solve every day, and we're looking for talented software developers to join us. If you are a highly motivated self-starter, and enjoy the flexibility that comes with working remotely, you might be a good fit.
