Firefox Send was a web application for sharing files with end-to-end encryption and expiring links, built by Mozilla on Node.js. Mozilla discontinued the hosted service in 2021 and the repository is archived, though the code can be self-hosted under the MPL-2.0 license.
Use cases
- send encrypted files to someone with a link
- self-host a private file sharing service
- share large files that expire automatically
- share files without an account
- run an ephemeral file drop for my team
When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, end-to-end encrypted file sharing service and can maintain the code yourself
- you need links that expire or are protected by passwords
- you want a proven codebase to fork and rebrand
When to avoid
- you need a maintained project with security updates and community support
- you want a hosted service - Mozilla shut it down in 2021
- you need modern Node.js compatibility without patching
