Do you want to send emails that are more secure and private? Do you want to have more control over who can access your messages and attachments? If so, you might be interested in Gmail\u2019s confidential mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Confidential mode is a feature that lets you send messages and attachments with Gmail that help protect sensitive information from unauthorized access. You can use confidential mode to set an expiration date for messages or revoke access at any time. Recipients of the confidential message will have options to forward, copy, print, and download disabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note:<\/strong> Although confidential mode helps prevent the recipients from accidentally sharing your email, it doesn\u2019t prevent recipients from taking screenshots or photos of your messages or attachments. Recipients who have malicious programs on their computer may still be able to copy or download your messages or attachments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How does confidential mode work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When you send a message in confidential mode, Gmail replaces the message text and attachments with a link. The link opens in a secure portal that displays the content of the message. The portal also enforces the settings you chose for the message, such as the expiration date and the passcode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you choose \u201cNo SMS passcode,\u201d recipients using the Gmail app will be able to open the link directly. Recipients who don\u2019t use Gmail will get emailed a passcode to open the link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you choose \u201cSMS passcode,\u201d recipients will get a passcode by text message to open the link. Make sure you enter the recipient\u2019s phone number, not your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also remove access to the message before the expiration date by clicking on \u201cRemove access\u201d in your sent folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How to send messages and attachments in confidential mode?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sending messages and attachments in confidential mode is easy and quick.
