About Smash | Key figures | Our story | By our side | They talk about us

Like many ideas, Smash is the result of a frustration: the services used to send files securely are too complicated and too expensive. This often leads employees in enterprises to resort to tools that are certainly simpler to handle, but they are not always secure and they rarely enhance the enterprise’s image. As for independent professionals who don’t have access to services reserved for enterprises, they are sometimes obliged to resort to less efficient services corrupt by advertising. In this game, nobody wins.

With Smash, enterprises no longer have to compromise between simplicity and security. As for independent professionals, they can access a service that is both efficient and ad free. We have launched Smash to offer a quality solution to the eternal choice between control and trust, between cost and benefits. Our service is designed to be simple and secure, fast and image enhancing. It has been conceived to adapt to the new needs of enterprises and independent professionals.
