Individual files can be added in the same way but by clicking on the Manage shared files option. Safebox can also be accessed from your MyBitdefender account.

There are also apps for iPhone and Android, so accessing and syncing files across multiple devices is easy. Finally, a Safebox desktop app can be downloaded to any computer you regularly use so you can sync files and folders between more than one PC as well as your other devices.
