Abstract

A transparent method, and systems, for secure file transmission from a first computing device of a sender to a recipient computing device, comprising the steps of: selecting a group, at least one recipient having a recipient computing device and a file from the first computing device; selecting a lockbox option at the first computing device to securely transmit the file to a lockbox situated at the at least one recipient computing device; iteratively selecting a location on at least one recipient computing device where the file is to be dispatched by performing a set of lockbox content version control operations at the first computing device until a valid location on the at least one recipient computing device is selected; dispatching the file at the valid location and presenting an indication that the file is dispatched with the lockbox option; and displaying the file.

Claims23

Dependent claims

A transparent method for secure file transmission from a first computing device of a sender to a second computing device of at least one recipient, the method comprising the steps of:

selecting a group, at least one recipient and a file from the first computing device, wherein each of the at least one recipients has a recipient computing device to provide at least one recipient computing device and wherein each of the at least one recipients is a member of the group and wherein the file is to be transmitted from the first computing device to at least one recipient computing device;
selecting a lockbox option at the first computing device to securely transmit the file to a lockbox situated at the at least one recipient computing device to provide lockbox contents of at least one file;
iteratively selecting a location on at least one recipient computing device where the file is to be dispatched by performing a set of lockbox content version control operations at the first computing device until a valid location on the at least one recipient computing device is selected;
dispatching the file at the valid location and presenting an indication at each of the at least one recipient computing devices that the file is dispatched with the lockbox option;
and
displaying the file in response to at least one recipient selecting a view lockbox content option at the at least one recipient computing device.

A transparent file transmission system establishing a secure communication link from a first computing device of a sender to at least one recipient computing device of at least one recipient, the system configured to perform the following operations:

select a group, at least one recipient and a file from the first computing device, wherein each of the at least one recipients has a recipient computing device to provide at least one recipient computing device, wherein each of the at least one recipients is a member of the group and wherein the file is to be transmitted from the first computing device to the at least one recipient computing device;
select a lockbox option at the first computing device to securely transmit the file to a lockbox situated at the at least one recipient computing device to provide lockbox contents of at least one file;
iteratively select a location on the at least one recipient computing device by performing a set of lockbox content version control operations at the first computing device until a valid location is selected, wherein the location is situated on the at least one recipient computing device where the file is to be dispatched;
dispatch the file at the valid location at the at least one recipient computing device and presenting an indication at each of the at least one recipient computing device that the file is dispatched with the lockbox option;
and
display the file in response to the recipient selecting a view lockbox content option at the at least one recipient computing device.
