Mozilla's self-destructive file-sharing service leaves beta

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

According to Mozilla, having this control makes Firefox Send a much better choice for sharing files or sensitive documents. However, limiting the number of downloads will not prevent users from making copies after downloading. Therefore, you need to use some common sense when sending particularly sensitive messages.

Firefox Send is available now and whatever the browser. You can send up to 1GB of default files, but a 2.5GB capacity is available if you sign up for a free Firefox account. In addition to its online portal, Mozilla launches an Android application in beta to allow you to share files on the move.
