Send Large Files with Firefox Send

Firefox has a new service for sending large files up to 2.5 gigs in size. Most of the free email services like Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo, and others have limits on the size of the attachment you send in an email. I believe Gmail offers the largest at 25 Mb. 

Now with Firefox free service, you can send files up to 2.5 gigs in size. That’s huge. 

You can even password the file. No one can download the attachment unless you use the correct password.

You don’t have to have a Firefox account to send or start receiving files with Firefox Send.

Without an account, the default settings are one day and one download. After that, your attachment will disappear from the net.

 

If you do sign up for a free account, you get more options like:

1. Send files larger than 2.5 gigs
2. You can change how many days before it disappears from the net.
3. You can change how many downloads before it disappears from the net
4. You can put a password on it, so unless you know it, you can’t download it.

Let’s Get Started:

Send files

Click the Firefox Account icon in the toolbar.

 

 

1. Click Firefox Send. Or go to this URL address. The Firefox Send page, https://send.firefox.com/, will open. 
2. Click Select files to upload and select the files you want to send.
3. Set an expiration and password (optional) for your files. By default, the link will expire after one download or one day.
4. Click Upload.
5. Please copy the link and send it to your recipient.

Receive files

You don’t need a Firefox Account or even Firefox to receive data using Firefox Send.

1. Click the link to download the files.
2. Enter a password if required.
3. Click the Download button.

Tip! Sign up for a free Firefox Account to send even larger files.

It’s effortless to use and works great. Your upload speed is dependent on your ISP, so sorry, can’t help you there when you’re uploading huge files.

Hope this helps
