How To Securely Send An Email From Gmail

Electronic mails are very important part of our daily life , specially in the era of covid when people are far from their office and loved ones. Emails are one of the most used communication media to transfer data from one node to another. 

Gmail is one of the most common email service provider , there are approximately 1.5 billion active gmail users all around the globe. With such a big count the company has a huge load to protect users data.

In 2019 Google added a new security feature to their gmail app named confidential mode. If you are a person who share his sensitive data over mails then this is the feature you are looking for. So what the hell is confidential mode ? This feature will protect your mail from unauthorized access. This feature will help you to add another layer of protection to your mail , you can set a password authentication to your mail along with an email expiration date. Let's see how to use this feature.

  • Open gmail app/website on your desktop/laptop/mobile.
  • Click on compose button.
  • If you are using desktop then a new message tab would be opened and you will see a lock symbol. 



                                                                         

 

If you will click it then a popup will arise, it will contain the option to set the expiry of your mail and set whether password is required or not . If you are using mobile application of gmail the process is almost same the only thing that differ is confidential mode option will be visible on clicking ⋮  icon. 

 





Overall the confidential mode feature is a big security add on by google but the biggest disadvantage is that if  you will send a confidential email to non gmail user then he have to link his email account to gmail and then have to login with that gmail account to see your confidential email which of course is a tedious task to do.
