Firefox Send with file encryption and password protection lets you send files (1GB to 2.5GB) safely and securely. When you upload a file, 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. Your files are not saved to the cloud -- they belong only to you.

Send files

  1. Click the Mozilla account icon on the Firefox toolbar.

Transfer files between your own devices

  1. Sign in to your Firefox Account on the source device before sending files.
  2. Send the files you want, as described above. They will stay attached to your account.
  3. Sign in to your Firefox Account on the destination device.
  4. When you visit the Firefox Send page, the files will be listed there.
  5. Click the Download link to download.
Note: If you were already in the Firefox Send page on the destination device before sending files from another device, just reload the page to see the files.
