Firefox Send

Firefox Send is a free, end-to-end encrypted file sharing service from Mozilla. Firefox Send was originally launched in August 2017 as a Mozilla Test Pilot experiment, but has since become a standalone service within the Firefox product family.

A quick search online for ‘file sharing’ brings up service after service, but be warned! Many of these services offer free transfers, but compromise on security and privacy. Many services generate a public download link which can not only be accessed by the recipient, but also anyone else that can intercept the link. Other services do provide secure transfer, but fall short by encrypting files on their server side only. Firefox Send ensures that files remain encrypted at every part of the journey; from when the sender uploads the files, to when the files are transmitted and finally at the point at which the recipient downloads them at the other end.

So how does Firefox Send work? Files are encrypted in the browser and uploaded to Mozilla’s servers. The encryption key is contained within the link itself which must be sent by email to one or multiple email addresses. The files are then automatically deleted from the server once they are downloaded a specified number of times or after a specified time has elapsed. Only the designated recipient will be able to download the file, but for an additional layer of security a password can also be applied. Because encryption is applied throughout the full process, even Mozilla cannot read your files.

Signing into your Firefox account also provides additional features as described in our Bit-By-Bit guide to using Firefox Send…

There is also a dedicated Android app which can be dowloaded from the Google Play store. Currently there is no iOS / iPadOS equivalent, although you could use your browser on iOS / iPadOS to use the service.
