  Introducing Firefox Send, Providing Free File Transfers while
  Keeping your Personal Information Private

  At Mozilla, we are always committed to people’s security and
  privacy. It’s part of our long-standing Mozilla Manifesto. We are
  continually looking for new ways to fulfill that promise, whether
  it’s through the browser, apps or services. So, it felt natural to
  graduate one of our popular Test Pilot experiments, Firefox Send,
  send.firefox.com. Send is a free encrypted file transfer service
  that allows users to safely and simply share files from any
  browser. Additionally, Send will also be available as an Android
  app in beta later this week. Now that it’s a keeper, we’ve made it
  even better, offering higher upload limits and greater control over
  the files you share.

  Here’s how Firefox Send works:

  Encryption & Controls at your fingertips

  Imagine the last time you moved into a new apartment or purchased a
  home and had to share financial information like your credit report
  over the web. In situations like this, you may want to offer the
  recipient one-time or limited access to those files. With Send, you
  can feel safe that your personal information does not live
  somewhere in the cloud indefinitely.

  Send uses end-to-end encryption to keep your data secure from the
  moment you share to the moment your file is opened. It also offers
  security controls that you can set. You can choose when your file
  link expires, the number of downloads, and whether to add an
  optional password for an extra layer of security.

  Share large files & navigate with ease

  Send also makes it simple to share large file sizes – perfect for
  sharing professional design files  or collaborating on a
  presentation with co-workers. With Send you can share file sizes up
  to 1GB quickly. To send files up to 2.5GB, sign up for a free
  Firefox account.

  Send makes it easy for your recipient, too. No hoops to jump
  through. They simply receive a link to click and download the file.
  They don’t need to have a Firefox account to access your file.
  Overall, this makes the sharing experience seamless for both
  parties, and as quick as sending an email.

  Sharing large file sizes is simple and quick

  We know there are several cloud sharing solutions out there, but as
  a continuation of our mission to bring you more private and safer
  choices, you can trust that your information is safe with Send. As
  with all Firefox apps and services, Send is Private By Design,
  meaning all of your files are protected and we stand by our mission
  to handle your data privately and securely.

  Whether you’re sharing important personal information, private
  documents or confidential work files you can start sending your
  files for free with Firefox Send.
