- You can also make a torrent very easily, which is the better method. 
- I’ve not heard of “Firefox Send.” Why would I use something like this instead of - scpor Nextcloud?- Because the other person might not have ssh or access to your nextcloud 
 
- If you care about security, OnionShare beats all these webRTC implementations 
- Is this Firefox Send thingy centralized? Also I’ve read that it’s actually a dead project. - ffsend targets Send which is an actively maintained community fork of Firefox Send. - It’s not centralized, you can host your own or choose from the public send instances. 
- This is the community fork that is still maintained. There are multiple instances like invidious and from what I understand it is relatively easy to self host. Since it is only for short term file storage and its E2EE I do not really mind using one of the public instances. 
- The Thunderbird team is actually looking to bring it back as part of their new (paid I believe) services along with Thundermail. 
 
- Any difference between croc and this? - If I’m not mistaken, ffsend generates a link that you can share with non-tech people (which is a big difference in my book). 
- It says on the github page that this is limited to 1gb only 
 
- I’m confused, is this different than? - This site states “⚠️ Send will be terminated on May 24th. ⚠️ Costs are getting too high to keep hosting this service. Find an alternative instance here or host your own.” - It literally says “Firefox Send client” in the title. 
 
- I always liked the concept of blaze, but it seems like development stopped 2 years ago. - https://github.com/blenderskool/blaze - Using webtorrents for multi-peer transfers & being able to UL/DL from a URL.
