Hey friends, may be you can help me with my problem. I am so new to this thing. So I signed up for firefox send and uploaded a large file ( my daughter;s wedding album) which I needed to transfer to my home computer. I had no clue that I had to copy the link. so after uploading I closed the app. went to my home computer and was looking for the file but I can't find it. Its lost. What do I do ? Anyway to recover this ?

Did you sign in to Firefox send using a Firefox Account as that might still give access to the file ?

Did you check the Firefox history and the Firefox disk cache in case there is still something referring to this file or the Firefox send link ?

Did you check the Windows Recycle bin on the other device in case you deleted this file ?

Thanks for your quick response.

(1) Yes. but where would that file be ? I have no clue. (2) Nothing in the history. how do i check the disc cache ? (3) Yes on the original computer from I uploaded the file , then i deleted it. Then I emptied the recycle bin as I was selling that computer the same day :(
