Mozilla's self-destructing file-sharing service exits beta

Firefox Send, the encrypted file-sharing service from Mozilla, has exited beta and is no longer an experiment. The service allows you to send download links that are set to automatically expire after a certain period of time, or after a set number of people have downloaded them. An additional password can also be set before a recipient can download a file.

Registered, logged-in users can send files up to 2.5 GB in size, otherwise the limit is 1 GB.

    All these intiatives that eventually go nowhere.
    I don't mind you trying other things, but could you place a HIGH focus on improving your web browser?
    It's just too boring, I guess, and doesn't grab headlines.
    Firefox only exists at this point as a platform for Mozilla to launch their crummy services.

      Your feedback has been noted. 😉👏

      Mozilla will next focus on directly integrating social media into the Firefox web browser. 😍😸

        I propose a revolutionary project: remote controlling a browser using emoji sequences.

      The problem is they are trying to become a service. Any kind of service. They don't understand. The only thing anyone who still cares about Mozilla wants is a good, stand-alone piece of software. Odds are someone at Mozilla hopes that being a service means more money. Such a person will never understand until they leave Mozilla for something different.

    Now you can only have it downloaded 1 time within 1 day, otherwise you need to register. Before it was 1 day and any(pre allocated numbers) number of downloads without registering.

    I'm fucking tired of registering to every god damn thing. I ain't doing it.

      The internet already solved it. The W3C shoved down WebRTC crap in the browser. Now we have peer to peer.

      This one use the webtorrent library: https://instant.io/ [instant.io]
      Lots of p2p webapps are listed in the webtorrent faq [webtorrent.io] under Who is using WebTorrent today?

      I hear IPFS also runs in the browser.
