--   Simple set-up: Users can either create a new click2send Safe
     Deposit Box or select an existing box. Box setup is as simple as
     naming the box and making a deposit key. Once the box is created,
     senders select the file for deposit from their hard drive or
     network. A single safe deposit box can hold one or multiple files
     with a combined memory of 120MB. Each box lists names of the
     files included, their size, the date the file was uploaded, and
     the number of days before the file expires. Clicking on an icon
     to the left of the file allows people picking up the file to
     either save it or open it in an active window.

--   Easy file pick-up: Senders draft a message alerting recipients to
     the nature of the file they are depositing. After the file is
     deposited, the message is sent to the email addresses of their
     intended recipients. The resulting message includes a
     click2send-generated hyperlink that leads directly to the
     click2send Safe Deposit Box holding the file. Senders are able to
     enter multiple email addresses for notice.

--   Immediate viewing: If a Microsoft application file is opened
     using Internet Explorer version 4.0 or higher, it will launch
     directly in the click2send.com browser using Microsoft Office
     components on the desktop.

--   Secure Access: To secure the management, delivery and access to
     files in click2send Safe Deposit Boxes, users can assign
     keys/passwords to entire boxes or individual files.

--   Flexible file expiration: Senders can designate the number of
     days that any file will be accessible. Unless otherwise
     specified, all files expire after 10 days.

--   Pick-up confirmation: Senders can choose to receive an email
     anytime that a file is picked up, allowing them to know when a
     file was received.
