11. I use FTP to send large files – why should I use Scribbos?
Many people use FTP when they need to send a large file that email cannot handle. However, FTP is not only cumbersome, but also insecure. If your file contains confidential, proprietary or sensitive information, your information is not protected. Scribbos provides you with a secure way to send large files that is easier than using FTP.

12. I use email to send all my messages and files – is that wrong?
No business professional could get by today without email. It is a pervasive and easy-to-use tool. However, it is not secure. Safeguards like firewalls and spam filters often mislead individuals into thinking that information can be transferred securely via email. The next time you go to hit the “send” button, think about the information in the document. If it is of a confidential nature, Scribbos enables you to securely send the message and/or file just as easily.
