Securely sharing large files can be annoying, but Mozilla wants to make it easier.

The browser maker just launched Firefox Send, a free encrypted file-transfer service. Formerly a Firefox Test Pilot experiment, Send lets you "safely and simply" share files from any browser, according to Mozilla Product Strategist Nick Nguyen. Mozilla also plans to launch Send as an Android app, which should be available in beta later this week.

"Now that it's a keeper, we've made it even better, offering higher upload limits and greater control over the files you share," Nguyen wrote in a Tuesday blog post.

With Send, you can share files up to 1GB without an account and 2.5GB when you sign in. The recipient doesn't need a Firefox account to access your file.

"This makes the sharing experience seamless for both parties, and as quick as sending an email," Nguyen wrote.

Files are sent with end-to-end encryption, meaning they're safe from prying eyes "from the moment you share to the moment [they're] opened," he explained. Sending a sensitive file like your credit report? For even greater protection, you can specify when the file link expires, the number of times it can be downloaded, and add a password.

"With Send, you can feel safe that your personal information does not live somewhere in the cloud indefinitely," Nguyen wrote.

Meanwhile, if you're getting sick of Google Chrome and thinking about switching to Firefox, the transition shouldn't intimidate you. As Mozilla demonstrated last month, it only takes about 30 seconds to make the switch.
