How to Update a safedrop

Yes, you can edit a safedrop after it's been sent. This is useful if you forgot a file, uploaded the wrong version, or need to remove sensitive info.

🔍 Step 1: Go to “Track safedrops”

• Log in to safedrop.
• From the top menu, click “Track safedrops” to view your sent safedrops.

📁 Step 2: Open the safedrop folder

• Find the safedrop you want to change.
• Click the 📂 folder icon next to it. This opens the drop’s storage area, like a secure mini file room.

🧹 Step 3: Remove existing files (if needed)

• Hover over any file to see the trash icon.
• Click it to delete files you no longer want included.

➕ Step 4: Add new files or folders

• Drag and drop files directly into the folder area, or
• Click the + icon to browse and upload.

You can add:

• New documents
• Images
• Entire folders (if enabled on your plan)

🔁 Step 5: Verify updates

• Reopen the safedrop preview or audit log to confirm your changes.
• Everything added is instantly available to recipients (based on the safedrop's access settings).

🧠 Pro Tips

• If you change your mind about deleting a file, you'll need to re-upload it — there’s no undo.
• You can also expire the safedrop manually and send a fresh one if you'd rather reset the whole drop.

🔒 Security Note

The audit trail will reflect all file activity:

• File added or removed
• Timestamp of action
• Who performed the action

This keeps everything compliant and transparent.
