# Devolutions Send in Remote Desktop Manager
Devolutions Send features a secure method to generate a link to share secrets instead of using insecure email to send sensitive data. Send a password through in-app secure messaging or create a shareable link to send secrets outside your organization securely.
### Features
{% hint style="info" %}
[Devolutions Send Standalone](https://devolutions.net/devolutions-send/) is an alternative for those who do not use our products.
{% endhint %}
Despite sharing the same underlying architecture, slight differences exist between the feature sets of the standalone and in-app versions of Devolutions Send.
* Unique link encrypted on the client side.
* Valid for a customizable amount of time.
* Optional protection via a client-provided passphrase.
* Users may be non-Devolutions users (not linked to a Devolutions Account).
* Character limit of 10 kB.
* A sender email is required and stored with the GUID as part of the “payload” stored in the database.

{% hint style="info" %}
These steps are valid for Devolutions Server and Devolutions Cloud workspaces. Only the [Send a password from a credential entry](#send-a-password-from-a-credential-entry) is available for SQL workspaces.
