- Security and confidentiality - eFax Secure™ encrypts faxes and stores them as a TIFF or PDF in a secure inbox. eFax improves the privacy of critical documents by eliminating the risks inherent in having confidential faxed documents sitting next to a traditional fax machine.
- Digital signature - eFax eliminates the need to print, sign and scan documents by providing digitised signature capabilities. Contracts or other documents that require a signature can be faxed to a user's account where their digitised signature is added from their PC, tablet or smartphone. The approved document can then be sent along via email or fax.
- Large File Sharing - this gives users the capability to reliably and securely upload and share files over 5MB (up to 1G) to any email address without bounce-backs or failed send attempts.
