Have you ever been in a situation where you needed to
send file over the email, but the file was too large to send through email? Email was never meant to use for sending large file as most of the service providers don't support large file attachment. A better option for this situation would be using
Firefox Send. Firefox Send is one of the experimental projects from Mozilla that provides the convenience of sharing large files. Firefox Send allows you to send files up to 2GB size and it securely encrypts the download link before you share with your recipient. The download links will be automatically expired within 24 hours of its creation or after the link is used. You can also password protect your files to ensure that only recipients with the corresponding password can download the files. Firefox Send is free to use and is supported by most major browsers. In this article, you’ll learn everything you need to know about

send file to someone.

upload button to select and upload your file or by just
drag and drop.
3. Once your file is uploaded, Firefox Send will auto generate the
encrypted download link for your file.

Require a password to download this file” if you prefer to use a password to protect the download.
