Welcome to SideDrawer!
If you're reading this, chances are your financial advisor, agent, or other professional service provider, has sponsored you with a premium SideDrawer license. You'll be able to enjoy all the features that will make it easy for your sponsor to collaborate and share important financial and private documents with you, safely and securely.
What is SideDrawer?
SideDrawer is the most secure, online storage and collaboration tool for important life documents available today and was created to fill the need in the financial services market for a dedicated, secure, online document storage designed specifically for private financial and personal documents.
Yes, there are other online storage platforms...dropbox, google drive, etc...but none of them were designed and built from the ground up for this purpose.
Do you really trust email to share documents about
investments, insurance, wills, and estate plans?
Why should I trust SideDrawer?
This short document outlines the security features we've built into our system architecture and the design of the SideDrawer platform. Our no-attachment and no-file sharing link approach safeguards your important documents and reduces cyber risk.
How do I accept my sponsored invite?
When a professional service provider sponsors you they should have provided a quick introduction to SideDrawer and explain what the next steps are. In case they didn't, here's what you can expect;
You'll receive an introductory email with an invitation to create your SideDrawer account and you'll automatically be sponsored with a Premium License, courtesy of your advisor.
After you click the button you'll be taken to SideDrawer.com to enter in your email address, choose a new password, and create an account.
AND THAT'S IT! NOW IT'S TIME TO EXPLORE YOUR SIDEDRAWER.
