Sharing a large-sized file has always been a major concern
for many of us. Neither we can send them as an attachment through email nor we
afford to upload it to the less-secure third-party cloud and waste our
hard-earned money.
Mozilla has finally made Firefox Send, and end-to-end
encrypted file sharing service available for everyone. It allows you to
transfer files up to 1GB in size. And if you need then you can sign up for a
free Firefox account anytime and enjoy and upload up t 2.5GB.
There are a lot of other file transfer tools available out,
but most of them do not guarantee our privacy. With Firefox Send, files will be
encrypted before uploading them to the Mozilla server, and can only be
decrypted by the recipients.
According to a blog post by Nick Nguyen, Vice President of
Firefox product, “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 your information is
safe and send.”
How to Use Firefox Send?
Firefox Send is an online service that uses browser-based
encryption technology. You just have to visit its website, and upload a file,
protect it with a password, set an expiration date and finally share the
generated link through any medium you want.
Here are some of the important features of FireFox Send:
End-to-End Encryption: It uses 128-bit AES-GCM encryption via
the Web Crypto API and encrypts the file even before uploading to the Mozilla
servers.
Password Protection: If you want to set an extra layer of
security, Firefox Send allows you to set a password that will be required
before downloading the file.
