Field Description

Use Add-in for these extensions (comma separated) Enter file extensions (separated by commas) that will, by default, be sent through Faspex. For example, enter "zip" to send all zip files through Faspex.
Save downloaded files to Save downloaded packages (via Microsoft Outlook) to the specified folder.
Always prompt for download location Request to be prompted for the download location.
Encrypt uploaded files with a password When this checkbox is marked, attachments are encrypted with a password on upload for content protection, regardless of the settings on Faspex or Connect. A recipient is then required to input that passphrase when downloading and decrypting the protected files.

Click the OK button when finished.
