Transfer Manager

The transfer status displayed in the Transfer Manager is available with live status information for the sender to see. This will help keeping track of the transfer, and to check if the recipients have actually accessed the files.

All transfers from the Cryptshare Server will be displayed, not only the ones handled by Cryptshare for Outlook (Classic). This makes it easy to switch between different Cryptshare Clients, while still having an overview of all transfers.

The Transfer Manager can be accessed directly from the Cryptshare drop-down menu in the Outlook ribbon.

Uploads

The Upload Manager allows you to keep track of all the transfers you have provided. Transfers will appear here as soon as the upload process begins, and will remain in the list for a number of days after the retention period on the server has expired. They are then automatically removed from the overview.

See Secure message and file transfer for instructions in detail on how to send messages and files.

The most recently sent Cryptshare message appears at the top.

The following information is listed:

  • Subject: The subject is displayed.

  • Tracking ID: The transfer tracking ID.

  • Sent: The date the transfer was created and made available.

  • Sender: Email address of the sender. Most likely, your email address is the one listed here. However, if multiple accounts are associated and you have chosen to list all accounts, the "sender" field can be useful.

  • Available until: After this date, the files are deleted from the server independent if the recipient has downloaded the files or not.

  • Status by Recipient: List of recipients, their email addresses, and which recipient has downloaded which files.

  • Status by Files: Which files the transfer contains, and the recipient’s download status per file.

  • Size: Size of the complete transfer.

  • Security mode: "No password required", "One-time password" or "QUICK"
