Privacy Bundle for Workspaces

Two of our new Advanced Privacy Bundle features, Restrict File Saving and Printing and Watermarking for PDF and image files are now available in Workspaces. Workspace Owners and Managers can apply one or both features to individual Workspaces to enhance protections for extra sensitive files. When enabled, file restrictions and watermarking apply to all Workspace collaborators and the Workspace is limited to PDF and image file types only.

Enabling Advanced Privacy Features

To enable either Restrict File Saving and Printing or Watermarking on a Workspace, Owners and Managers click the settings icon (cog) in the top right hand corner of the Workspace.

Workspace Settings-2

From here, you can choose to enable one or both features by toggling the slider to the on position.

Settngs Modal - On

Once turned on, you are advised that the Workspace will be limited to PDF and image files only. If the Workspace contains any other file types, you will need to remove them prior to enabling either feature.

Limit File Type

Restrict File Save and Print

When Restrict File Saving and Printing is enabled, all Collaborators, regardless of role (i.e. viewer, contributor, owner etc.) are blocked from downloading and printing files. The only option is to preview the file within SendSafely.

Watermarking

When Watermarking is enabled, all Workspace files will be watermarked with the email address of the collaborator. Watermarks apply to all collaborators regardless of role.

Watermarking and Restrict File Download are included as part of the SendSafely Advanced Privacy Bundle. Contact sales@sendsafely.com for more information on how to enable this option for your SendSafely subscription.

Frequently asked questions

Can I watermark files in a SendSafely Workspace?

Yes. Workspace Owners and Managers can enable Watermarking on a Workspace, which watermarks all files with the viewing collaborator’s email address, regardless of role. Learn about Workspaces.

How do I prevent Workspace collaborators from downloading or printing files?

Enable Restrict File Saving and Printing from the Workspace settings cog. All collaborators, including owners, are then blocked from downloading and printing, and can only preview files in SendSafely.

Why is my Workspace limited to PDF and image files after enabling watermarking?

Restrict File Saving and Printing and Watermarking only support PDF and image files, so enabling either limits the Workspace to those types. Other file types must be removed before turning the feature on.

Do Workspace privacy restrictions apply to all collaborators?

Yes. When enabled, file restrictions and watermarking apply to all Workspace collaborators regardless of role, including viewer, contributor, and owner.

What is the SendSafely Advanced Privacy Bundle?

Introduced in 2021, it grouped features for extra-sensitive files: Restrict File Save and Print, Recipient Access Limits, and Document Watermarking. Today these controls are included by plan tier; see pricing.
