I count myself in that number (though Gmail is far from being the only account I use) and depend on Gmail for work-related communication.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/home-and-office\/work-life\/how-to-send-large-files-up-to-10gb-in-gmail\/\" rel=\"follow\"><strong>How to send really large files in Gmail<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I have to send sensitive information to others on a regular basis. Although I&#8217;d rather take advantage of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/how-to-encrypt-your-email-and-why-you-should\/\" rel=\"follow\">GPG encryption<\/a> found in the likes of Thunderbird, I don&#8217;t always have that option\u2026 especially when using Gmail (as Gmail doesn&#8217;t offer encryption options such as Pretty Good Privacy).<\/p>\n<p>However, a few years back Google did add a nice feature to Gmail called Confidential Mode that helps protect sensitive information from authorized access. With Confidential Mode, you can set an expiration date and a password for messages and even revoke access any time you choose. And when a recipient receives a confidential message, they cannot forward, copy, print, or download the message. Although this isn&#8217;t a 1:1 substitute for actual encryption, it is much easier to use than the encryption options found in Thunderbird.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/how-to-change-your-gmail-inbox-layout-and-why-you-might-want-to\/\" rel=\"follow\"><strong>How to change your Gmail inbox layout<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The one caveat to Confidential Mode is that there&#8217;s no way of stopping users from taking screenshots of those confidential emails and then sending those images to other people. So, it&#8217;s not perfect, but it is a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p>How do you use Confidential Mode? Let me show you.<\/p>\n<h2>How to send an email in Confidential Mode<\/h2>\n<p><strong>What you&#8217;ll need:&nbsp;<\/strong>The only thing you&#8217;ll need to use Confidential Mode is a Gmail account on either the web-based Gmail client or the mobile app (it works on Android and iOS). I&#8217;m going to demonstrate using the web-based client, which works on almost any web browser, but the email client works similarly.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, let&#8217;s get confidential.<\/p>\n<div id=\"e1eb0a12-a028-46f1-b983-8aed97af1c87\" class=\"c-shortcodeListicle g-outer-spacing-bottom-medium\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeListicle_conten\"><!----> <!----> <\/p>\n<div readability=\"7\">\n<div class=\"c-ShortcodeContent\" readability=\"34\">\n<p>Open your web browser, head to Gmail, and log in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!----><\/div>\n<p> <!----> <!----><\/div>\n<div id=\"75b25169-8773-455e-9614-c9ca5f67d41a\" class=\"c-shortcodeListicle g-outer-spacing-bottom-medium\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeListicle_conten\"><!----> <!----> <\/p>\n<div readability=\"7\">\n<div class=\"c-ShortcodeContent\" readability=\"34\">\n<p>Click Compose to open the Gmail compose window.
