# Secure file sharing

To securely share files with a client, you can toggle the "Secure attachment" option when [composing an email](https://help.usepixie.com/en/articles/5208664-sending-emails-to-clients.md):

With this option turned on, Pixie will remove the attachments from the email, save them in a secure location, and add a banner to the email.

When the client opens the email, they can click on the banner to access the files.

After opening the file-sharing link, the client needs to enter their unique pass-phrase to access the files.

The pass-phrase can be found on the [client's details page](https://help.usepixie.com/en/articles/5208667-client-details.md):
