One thing I noticed was that it deletes the file upon download initialisation and not completion. So one downside is that if your friend cancels the download to try again later, they won&#x27;t be able to.<p>One upside is that others won&#x27;t be able to initiate and get the download at the same time - but perhaps if the download was cancelled, the tab closed, the item should become downloadable again?

If like me you wondered where was the encryption key... It&#x27;s the fragment identifier of the URL, i.e. not sent as part of the request to the remote server, it a client-side only value.

I should have posted the link to the actual product: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;send.firefox.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;send.firefox.com&#x2F;</a>

<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;transfer.sh" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;transfer.sh</a> is much better and allows even larger files

This is pretty cool. It&#x27;s a nice start. I&#x27;d like a solution for transferring for example ~1TB files securely. Global scape is the only easy sol I&#x27;ve found so far for sharing securely with one off partners, I mean beside encrypted drives.

how do companies manage to serve up all the bandwidth for this for free? even storage will be costly at this scale right?

Sadly this page doesn&#x27;t even load unless I whitelist Mozilla Telemetry in uMatrix.<p>Don&#x27;t suppose anyone from Mozilla can fix that?
