## What it is
A curated list of public instances of Send, the encrypted, ephemeral file-sharing service forked from Firefox Send. It catalogs each instance's size limits, time limits, download limits, location, version, and uptime status.

## Use cases
- find a public Send instance to share files securely
- compare file size and expiry limits across Send instances
- check uptime status of Send file-sharing servers
- find a Send instance hosted in a specific country
- learn how to host my own Send instance

## When to choose
- you want to send large files with end-to-end encryption without an account
- you need a quick reference of community-hosted Send servers and their limits
- you are deciding where to point users of your own Send deployment

## When to avoid
- you need a file-sharing application itself rather than a list of servers
- you require guaranteed security or SLAs, since instances carry no warranties
- you need a maintained software project with a license

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: file-upload, self-hosted, developer-tools
- domain: privacy, self-hosted, files, web-development
- platform: self-hosted, cross-platform
- tags: file-sharing, firefox-send, instance-list, encrypted-file-transfer, awesome-list, web-server
