Firefox Send was originally a test from its Test pilot program, but Mozilla says Send has now been released allowing users to send encrypted files between browsers, and up to 2.5GB, with a Firefox account. If you don't have a Firefox account you can send 1GB encrypted files.

There are additional security controls users can set, including when the file link expires, a number of downloads, and an optional password.

This will be very useful in certain industries. Very often uploading to a server and providing a download link was the only viable way of sending large files to clients or for collaboration. This will certainly be useful.

Other than the fact that a 3rd party service is required, this appears useful for non-critical projects (even if encrypted).

Whenever sending anything over the Internet it's going to require going through someone's servers somewhere. I don't think i'd be overly concerned about it when sending a few holiday snaps.

This'll be useful, i'm sure.
