Comment summary: Firefox Send is praised for offering a simple, efficient, and secure way to transfer files, with end-to-end encryption and open-source transparency. Users appreciate its ease of use and trust in Mozilla. The service supports large files up to 2.5GB and provides automatic deletion options. Though there are occasional usability issues, users wish for its return despite its discontinuation.

Excellent way of sending big files with privacy. Your file is encrypted first, then sent, so no one sees what it is except the recipient.

Is this actually being discontinued or just being put on hiatus? Hopefully the latter. Though it was a bit clunky at times--I usually had to upload the file I wanted to send two or three times before it would, I guess, "take"--I liked having this service available as a quick an easy alternative to some of the features of DropBox. Hope they'll bring it back!

Safe way to sent a file then automatic deleted from the website after 1 download.

Has end-to-end encryption, can handle rather large files (up to 2.5GB), and files get auto-deleted upon hitting quota or time. Good for files that you need sending just once.

What is Firefox Send?

Send is a free encrypted file transfer service that allows users to safely and simply share files from any browser. With Send you can share file sizes up to 1GB quickly. To send files up to 2.5GB, sign up for a free Firefox account.

Send uses end-to-end encryption to keep your data secure from the moment you share to the moment your file is opened. It also offers security controls that you can set. You can choose when your file link expires, the number of downloads, and whether to add an optional password for an extra layer of security.

Send makes it easy for your recipient, too. No hoops to jump through. They simply receive a link to click and download the file. They don’t need to have a Firefox account to access your file. Overall, this makes the sharing experience seamless for both parties, and as quick as sending an email.

Whether you’re sharing important personal information, private documents or confidential work files you can start sending your files for free with Firefox Send.
