Retrieval of a drop-off by a recipient can only be done with both the drop-off's Claim ID and Passcode. Other information (the Internet address and/or computer name from which the drop-off was created, for example) is retained, to help the recipient(s) check the identity of the sender. This email also provides a link to access the drop-off. If the files are successfully uploaded, an email is sent to the recipient(s) explaining that a drop-off has been made. When a user creates a drop-off, they enter some identifying information about themself (name, organisation, and email address) identifying information about the recipient(s) (name and email address) and choose what files should be uploaded to make the drop-off. Linux/Unix users could try 'PeaZip' or 'File Roller'.Windows users can create a 'compressed folder' or use.Mac users can select the files in the Finder and 'Compress' (see the File menu).

In some cases, the download will fail repeatedly, breaking the recipient's ability to receive mail at all. Downloading such email messages can take hours on a slow Internet connection and block any sending or receiving of messages during that time. Email messages with large attachments can wreak havoc on email servers and end-users' computers.
