If you’re a die-hard Gmail user like me, you’re probably aware that you can’t send encrypted or locked emails through Gmail. But what if I told you that you can send encrypted emails using Gmail? Yes, it is possible with SendSafely.

SendSafely, with a 4.9 out of 5 stars rating, is a popular email encryption Chrome extension that uses OpenPGP, a well-established and trusted encryption standard, to encrypt messages and files sent via Gmail, ensuring that only you and the recipient have access to them.

SendSafely allows you to encrypt emails and attach files up to 10GB directly within Gmail. Furthermore, multi-factor authentication provides an additional layer of security. When you send an email, the recipients are given a unique SMS code to unlock the encrypted content.
