Can I Send Encrypted Files From My Vault in an Email?

If you need to send a file that’s in your Vault, make sure you attach the file that does not have the .xqf file extension.

1. Click on attach files as you would normally do when writing an email.
2. From your desktop, open the Vault drive where the file is located.
3. Select a file from the Vault drive. Files there don’t have the .xqf file extension.

4. The file will be encrypted when you send the secure email.

Caution

Files encrypted with XQ Vault (files ending in “.xqf”) can only be decrypted by XQ Vault, so don’t send them by email. See which XQ tools open which .xqf files.
