Our Intelligent Data Protection Platform consists of powerful features, which ensure that you can communicate in a user-friendly and secure way. With these blogs, we will show how these features work. **Explained simple, short and to the point**! How easy Smartlockr is for senders, you know by now. But, our product is also user-friendly for recipients. In today's blog post you will see how that looks like and works.   ## A user-friendly product for both sender and recipient As a sender, there are 4 ways to send a message. **That means that you as a recipient will have 4 different ways to receive/open files.** Here we will explain briefly how that works: - **A public file** When you have received a public file, you will receive an email from the sender (just like  you are used to from a normal email). You will then find a link in this email. **If you click on this link, you will be redirected to a Smartlockr portal. The sent file can be found within this portal.** The name says it all:  this is a 'public file',  so no additional security options have been applied, - **A secure file** [Secure files can be sent with one or two-factor authentication](https://www.smartlockr.io/en/blog/one-and-two-factor-authentication?hsLang=en). - In the case of **one-factor authentication**, you will receive two emails from Smartlockr. The first email contains the message from the sender, with a notification from Smartlockr stating that another message with the files is on its way. In the second message you will find a password and a link: after clicking on the link, enter the password and you'll have access to the files. - **A secure message** With a secure message,** both message and files are sent securely.** In addition to one-factor authentication, as explained above, there is also the option for two-factor authentication. - With two-factor authentication, you as a recipient must verify yourself by email and phone number. This is done by SMS: the sender has entered your number, after which you will receive an SMS. **In this SMS you will find a code, which then gives you access to the secure portal where you can download the files.** - **An uploadrequest** [Did you receive an upload request](https://www.smartlockr.io/en/blog/upload-request?hsLang=en)? Then you can easily send files in a secure way. **Via a link in the email, you will be redirected to the environment where you can upload the files.** And the easiest part? The recipient has already indicated what the desired files are, so you will immediately send the correct files. That saves hassle afterwards!
