SEND SECURELY WITH LINKS YOU CONTROL
Secure File Sharing from Outlook
Enable staff to send files directly from Outlook using secure links, with options for password protection, expiration dates, and access notifications to keep document exchange controlled and auditable
Give Every Attachment a Secure Link
Instead of attaching files directly, generate secure links that can be dropped into the email body, reducing inbox bloat and keeping sensitive documents behind access controls
Advanced Protection Options
Apply passwords, set expiration dates, and enable open notifications so your team can match security settings to the sensitivity of each document and engagement
Centralized Audit Visibility
Track link activity and access history centrally, making it easier to support audits, resolve client questions, and prove secure handling of confidential information
ONE-CLICK, RIGHT-PLACE UPLOADS
Guided Uploads to the Right Folder
Embed upload links in Outlook that are already mapped to a specific HubSync workspace or folder, so every file lands in the right place without staff having to move or rename anything afterward
Keep Documents Out Of Desktops and Shared Drives
Clients send files straight into HubSync instead of emailing attachments that staff must download and re-upload, reducing security exposure and saving time on repetitive handling
Automatic Organization for Every Engagement
Clients send files straight into HubSync instead of emailing attachments that staff must download and re-upload, reducing security exposure and saving time on repetitive handling
OUTLOOK-INITIATED SIGNATURES
Embedded E‑Signature Workflows
Initiate electronic signature requests from Outlook with support for multiple signers, signing order, and fields like signatures, initials, dates, and text, mirroring the capabilities available in My Signature
Configure Signers Without Leaving Outlook
Add primary and secondary signers, define the signing order, and specify who needs to sign, initial, or just receive a copy—all from the same Outlook window where you drafted the email
Place All Required Signature Fields
Drag and drop fields like signature, initials, dates, and text boxes onto the document so signers see exactly where to act, mirroring the full functionality of your existing My Signature experience
Track Signing Status in Real Time
Monitor which signers have opened, signed, or are still pending directly through the integrated workflow, helping staff nudge clients at the right time and avoid bottlenecks near filing deadlines
FLEXIBLE SECURITY
Match Security to Every Engagement
Apply three levels of access—public links, name and email collection, or passwordless secure links with one-time code verification—plus optional passwords and tracking, to align security with each client and engagement
Public Links for Quick Shares
Use "Anyone with the link" access for non-sensitive files, allowing instant viewing without logins while still tracking opens and applying optional expiration to maintain basic oversight
Name & Email Capture for Accountability
Require name and email entry before access, capturing client details for your records without passwords, ideal for routine tax document exchanges where light verification suffices
Magic Links for High-Security Engagements
