Do you need to send or receive files anonymously? If so, you'll be glad to know that there are several options available to you. In this blog post, we'll discuss one of those options: using a temporary email address. We'll also show you how to set up your own temporary email address and give you some tips on how to use it safely and securely.

How can you be sure that the files sent to your temporary email address are safe and secure?

When you create a temporary email address, you're essentially creating an anonymous account that can't be traced back to you. This is perfect for receiving files from unknown sources, as there's no way for the sender to know who they're sending the file to. And because the account is anonymous, there's no way for anyone to hack into your account and access your personal information. So if security is a top priority for you, then a temporary email address is a great way to ensure that the files you receive are safe and secure.

Example 1.

User 1 sends file directly to user’s 2 disposable mailbox. As incoming messages are available only for 60 minutes, it is necessary for uses to use some messenger to control file transfer process. In that case, intruders can identify user 2 as file recipient.

Example 2.

User 1 uploads file to sharing server and sends corresponding link to user 2. At any convenient time, user 2 can use special web service to send this file from server to his disposable mailbox and then download it from this mailbox.

In that case, users needn’t to communicate to each other while transferring file and user 2 doesn’t disclose his real IP-address and email, so intruders can’t identify user 2 as file recipient.

Example 3.

User wants to download some file from web anonymously. He can use any web service to send this file to disposable mailbox instead of organizing complex safe communication channel. In that case, intruders can’t identify user as file recipient.

It should be noted that messages with attached files downloaded from disposable mailbox are in *.eml format, so you have to use some email client software to extract files from it, such as Outlook or Thunderbird. Just download message to your device and open it in Outlook, then save attached file to your hard drive.

There are a lot of other examples of using disposable mail for anonymous file transfer. Ultimately, disposable mail can help you to maintain an adequate level of anonymity and can be an effective tool to protect your personal data from intruders.
