Mozilla had a free file sharing service called Firefox Send that helped users send self-destructing files over the internet. The company had to suspend the service in July last year as some users abused the service to spread malware. A few months later, Mozilla announced it is shutting down Firefox Send. If you are missing the convenience Firefox Send offers, you’ll be glad to know that there exists Send, a community-supported fork that keeps the project alive.

Netherlands-based developer Tim Visée is the maintainer of Send, a community-focused fork of Firefox Send. The open-source project aims to keep the project up-to-date and alive. Notable changes in the project ever since Mozilla discontinued Firefox Send include removal of Firefox branding for legally self-hosting, updated dependencies, removal of reporting, download tokens, and trust warnings. You can go through the project’s source code on GitHub.
