What is eFax?
eFax is a digital faxing app and online service for sending, receiving, and organizing faxes from a computer or mobile device. It is designed for people and businesses that still need fax workflows for contracts, forms, medical paperwork, legal documents, and other records that are commonly exchanged by fax. Users can attach files, add cover pages, view inbound faxes, and manage fax activity without relying on a standalone fax machine. The service also supports mobile faxing features such as document capture, electronic signatures, and access to fax history while away from a desk. On Mac, users may encounter eFax through account access, browser-based workflows, or related app data tied to the eFax mobile ecosystem. J2global publishes the service.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
eFax is legitimate fax software and an online service used to handle documents that may contain sensitive personal or business information. Access to files, photos, camera input, or contacts can be normal when you want to attach documents, scan pages, or address faxes from your device. The main consideration is privacy: keep only the account signed in on devices you trust, and review stored fax documents if you no longer use the service.
Recommendation: Keep eFax if you actively send or receive faxes or need access to past fax records. If you no longer use the service, removing the app is usually fine, but you may lose quick access to saved fax history or convenience features on that Mac.
