safedrop receipts

Now when you send a safedrop you'll notice the receipt has 1 extra line:

You can monitor activity on this SafeDrop here. You can also expire the drop, or change it's expiry date.

This is actually pretty powerful - now if you want to revoke a message just click the receipt and expire it. 
It's also one handy place with a complete history of who's accessed your safedrop.

New feature - secure message

Last week we sneaked in a new feature - secure messages. Now when you send a safedrop there’s an extra field ‘Secure Message’.

If you select ‘delete on download’ they will see the message only once.

enhancements - including the much asked for multiple files

We added multiple file uploads to the web interface. You can now send as many files as you want, which is the feature everyone's been asking for.

Lots more in the pipeline, we'll try and squeeze out another release before Christmas.

What's coming up? A new URL scheme for drops, and a simple password feature are the simplest bits, much bigger changes coming in February. We're also working on the outlook plugin.
