It\u2019s part of our long-standing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/about\/manifesto\/\">Mozilla Manifesto<\/a>. We are continually looking for new ways to fulfill that promise, whether it\u2019s through the browser, apps or services. So, it felt natural to graduate one of our popular Test Pilot experiments, <a href=\"https:\/\/send.firefox.com\/\">Firefox Send<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/send.firefox.com\">send.firefox.com<\/a>. Send is a free encrypted file transfer service that allows users to safely and simply share files from any browser. Additionally, Send will also be available as an Android app in beta later this week. Now that it\u2019s a keeper, we\u2019ve made it even better, offering higher upload limits and greater control over the files you share.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Here\u2019s how Firefox Send works:<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eRHpEn2eHJA\" width=\"853\" height=\"505\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\">&lt;span<br \/>\nstyle=&#8221;display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden;<br \/>\nline-height: 0;&#8221; data-mce-type=&#8221;bookmark&#8221;<br \/>\nclass=&#8221;mce_SELRES_start&#8221;&gt;\ufeff&lt;\/span&gt;<\/iframe><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><b>Encryption &amp; Controls at your fingertips<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Imagine the last time you moved into a new apartment or purchased a home and had to share financial information like your credit report over the web. In situations like this, you may want to offer the recipient one-time or limited access to those files. With <a href=\"https:\/\/send.firefox.com\/\">Send<\/a>, you can feel safe that your personal information does not live somewhere in the cloud indefinitely.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/send.firefox.com\/\">Send<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12053\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<div id=\"attachment_12053\" style=\"width: 2510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12053\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-12053 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ffp4g1ylyit3jdyti1hqcvtb-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Firefox-Send-Blog-Post-TWO-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2500\" height=\"2070\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-12053\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Choose when your file link expires, the number of downloads and add an optional password<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2><b>Share large files &amp; navigate with ease<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/send.firefox.com\/\">Send<\/a> also makes it simple to share large file sizes \u2013 perfect for sharing professional design files \u00a0or collaborating on a presentation with co-workers. With <a href=\"https:\/\/send.firefox.com\/\">Send<\/a> you can share file sizes up to 1GB quickly. To send files up to 2.5GB, sign up for a free <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/en-US\/firefox\/accounts\/\">Firefox account<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/send.firefox.com\/\">Send<\/a> 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\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12054\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<div id=\"attachment_12054\" style=\"width: 2510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12054\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-12054 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ffp4g1ylyit3jdyti1hqcvtb-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Firefox-Send-Blog-Post-ONE-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2500\" height=\"2070\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-12054\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sharing large file sizes is simple and quick<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>We know there are several cloud sharing solutions out there, but as a continuation of our mission to bring you more private and safer choices, you can trust that your information is safe with <a href=\"https:\/\/send.firefox.com\/\">Send<\/a>.
