How to transfer large files securely?
The importance of end-to-end encryption
E2E-encryption mean only the sender and recipient can view the contents of the message. In the case of file transfer services, this means the files you send can be seen only by yourself and the person who receives the share link.
The appeal of Send
Originally, Send is a product by Mozilla. This company is also the maintainer of the Firefox browser, one of few independent browser engines and hence a very important project.
Send is open source, meaning anyone is free to inspect its code and check that it does what it promises, and nothing more.
Send is free of advertising, fast, and no account is needed.
How to use Send
Mozilla stopped hosting Send in 2020. But because the piece of software is open source, other organisations and individuals are able to host a replica of the service, an instance.
There are many different instances available to choose from. Tim Visee, the first person to spin up an instance, maintains a list here. Pick one and send your files right away.
Is this an ad?
No. I just like Send and wanted to share it.
