Revision Content
Firefox Send with file encryption and password protection lets you send files safely and securely. When you upload a file or group of files, Firefox Send generates a link you can share with your recipient. You also have the option to set a password and change the expiration settings for extra security. Each group of sent files can be up to 1GB, or 2.5GB with a Firefox Account. Your files are not saved to the cloud -- they belong only to you.
