6 Best Free Firefox Send Alternative Services

Here is a list of the best free Firefox Send alternative Services. Firefox Send was a free and encrypted file-sharing service by Firefox. This service offered a simple way to share files up to 2.5 GB in size with end-to-end encryption. On top of that, you could protect the files with a password and set them to expire after a specific number of downloads or a specific time period. Unfortunately, the company suspended the Firefox Send back in September 2020.

In this post, I covered 6 similar file-sharing services that you can use in place of Firefox Send. All these services are free to use without an account. Almost all six of these services offer features that are either ideal or identical to Firefox Send. I briefly described the services along with the process of sharing files using each one of them. But to put everything in perspective with Firefox Send, I mentioned the “Key Points” of each service. This covers the features such as upload size, encryption type, sharing method, password protection, file expiration, etc. You can go through the post to check these out in detail.
