HACKER Q&A

Send.firefox.com has been down for weeks. What are viable alternatives?


I liked Firefox send to share files with correspondants who aren’t tech savvy and wouldn’t know how to use pgp or who would be confused at a zip file asking for a password. Firefox send was great because it also encrypted the files while on their servers and didn’t need an account to download.

But it’s been down for weeks now.

Any suggestions for a similar tool to replace it?

You can self-host Web Wormhole

Or use the addons that are available for Firefox and Chrome

I've been using Dropshare for a long time. It just connects to a Digitalocean droplet over SSH and transfers files into a directory. https://dropshare.app/

WeTransfer has been the market leader for years now.

Down for weeks? That's pretty crazy. I wonder why.
