Using the file shredder option in SecureAccess 3.0

When adding files to SecureAccess 3.0 using the "Add Files" option in the right click menu you will be ask if you would like to securely delete the file from your computer. This is the file shredder option. Once securely deleted from the computer the file cannot be recovered and will only be encrypted and stored in SecureAccess 3.0

NOTE: The File Shredding (secure delete) option is not available when adding files to SecureAccess 3.0 via Drag and Drop. It is only available using the "Add Files" button.
