SafeGmail is an extension for Google Chrome users that allows Google Chrome users to send “encrypted†emails to their fellow friends, family members and so on. Why would someone need to send to encrypt their emails?
Well, in the recent age of development, sending emails has also become a tad ‘un-safe’. Emails can be intercepted during transmission and read â€" uncovering maybe private and valuable data to a person. SafeGmail allows emails to be encrypted that gives it an extra-safe protection. The emails also are encrypted for a specific time period, after which they are automatically deleted, making the whole process even more secure.
To start off, open your Google Chrome browser and navigate to the SafeGmail extension by clicking on the link found at the bottom of the post. Once done, install the extension. You will be required to login into your Gmail account and compose a new message so as to encrypt the message.
Now, once you write the email and choose the person you wish to send the email to, click on the checkbox right next to the “Encrypt†option (it is below the Subject line as you can see in the screenshot provided above). Now, you will be required to enter “a Question and Secret Answer that only the recipient can answerâ€. Once you have entered the encryption you will notice that now the button reads “Send + ENCRYPTâ€. Click on that button to send the (now) encrypted email to the recipient.
It will take less than a minute for the tool to encrypt the message and send an email. Once done, your recipient will receive the encrypted email. The reader will be required to click on the li nk, answer the secret question and copy/paste the encrypted code that is found in the email. Once done, the email message will be un-encrypted and shown to the user.
Screenshots are snapshots of your computer screen. They come in handy a lot when you are trying to reference a point in an application or when you try indicating how a certain thing works. What many people do to take screenshots is to press the PrintScreen key on their keyboards, paste the copied image in Microsoft Paint, and then crop to get the screenshot of the area they want. But this process is time consuming and annoying as well. There are easier alternatives available in the form of dedicated screenshot applications. However they still make use of the PrintScreen key on your keyboard. Mostly, good screenshot applications are paid and may not be worth the money for a user who does not regularly use it. If you are looking for a free and simple way to take screenshots in a single click, you should check out an app called Screenshoter.
Web applications have taken over desktop utilities for most common tasks. The benefits of using web applications are that you do not have to install any third party applications on your system in order to perform basic tasks. One such task is archiving zipped files. There is no doubt that Winrar and Winzip are the best tools for that purpose but what if you can archive or unzip files without installing any software? If you don’t have any zip tool or you just want to extract or zip files, give EzyZip a try.
If you browse the internet, you will come across hundreds of thousands of services that allow users to share files online. There are many things that lacks in one service or another. For instance, you cannot see if the file has been successfully transferred and downloaded by the recipient. JustBeamIt is one such file sharing service that allows users to share files instantly with anyone they want and track whether the file has been downloaded or not.
Thanks to the internet, we can now easily communicate with people who are living in other countries. It has encouraged and facilitated online business between people. Programs like Skype let you setup online meetings and conferences and conduct them with ease. One problem that arises, however, is quickly coming up with a meeting time. Because almost all parties are in different time zones, it is not exactly easy to let all parties which time they should be available.
While using a computer, we create all types of different digital documents. People whose work involves writing create Word documents; accountants create Excel spreadsheets; designers create image files, and so on. But while we create documents in a multitude of different file formats, we always lean towards the PDF file formats when we want to share documents with others. The program you create a document in does not necessarily have the option to output a PDF file. What you need is a tool that converts files of other formats into a PDF files. Moreover, you need this tool to be an online app so that it is accessible from any computer.
Have you ever had trouble finding the file that you were looking for? If yes, then this is simply because your computer has a lot of files which are scattered across a multitude of folders. Traversing through the right folder path and finding the right file you are looking for can sometimes be difficult. Furthermore, the process can be undesirably time consuming when you are dealing with files on the server; ending up in the wrong folder wastes even more time.
