Share Files Online Without Worrying About Security Breaches

Firefox Send is a service that makes sharing files safe and secure. The end-to-end encryption and the fact that the share link expires automatically after some time set Firefox Send apart from similar services.

Working Mechanism

To get started, sign up with the service and create a free account. Once done, you can send files of up to 2.5GB. Upload the file to send and you will get a link that you can share with people who you want to send the uploaded files to. You can choose the number of days to keep the link active. You may even password-protect the file – the credentials for the same can be added before the upload. Those who get the link can download the file link to their devices.

Solid Encryption

Send employs end-to-end encryption, so that the data shared goes under the security cover as soon as it’s shared and till the file is opened. Also, you can set security controls. Besides letting you choose the expiry date, you can also determine how many times the file(s) can be downloaded and add an additional password for additional security. The service has been under an extended testing period. This means you can be almost certain about its efficacy. During the test period, the file size limit was 1GB. It has now been pushed up by 1.5GB to 2GB.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
