Add file to Safe

Files can be added to a Safe in different ways:

  • Menu > File > Import…
  • Drag file from Finder to Safe
  • Click on the import icon in the toolbar

Mac

Import first file

Of course, when the file was imported, it was also encrypted.

The original file (outside the Safe) still exists. This is the default behavior of SimpleumSafe. You decide when to delete the original file. You can change this behavior in the Safe settings.
