How to send a fax through email

If you have a paid Dropbox Fax subscription, you can use your email to send faxes through Dropbox Fax.

Note: You must have a paid, active Dropbox Fax subscription to use this feature. Learn more about Dropbox Fax plans.

To send a fax from your email:

1. Open a new email.
2. In the “To” field, add the recipient’s fax number with no spaces or special characters, followed by “@hellofax.com”.
   • To send the fax to a US number, add 1 to the beginning of the fax number. For example, “19992345678@hellofax.com”.
   • To send the fax to a non-US number, add 00 and the destination country code to the beginning of the fax number. For example, “00429875555@hellofax.com”.
3. Add a subject line. This appears in the “To” field on the fax cover page.
4. Add body text to your email. This becomes the message on the cover page, but it’s not required.
5. Attach the document you want to fax.
6. Click Send.

You can also use authentication to make your fax more secure. To do so:

1. Sign in to hellofax.com.
2. Hover over your initials in the top-right corner.
3. Click My Settings > Profile.
4. Scroll down to “Email Authentication”. You can check the box next to “Sender Policy Framework (SPF)”, “DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM)”, or both.
5. Click Save at the bottom of the page.
