    Send is a fork of Firefox Send, which makes it the most similar alternative now that Firefox Send has been discontinued.

    pcloud does not send files with end-to-end encryption. Files sent also have no option to expire automatically after a certain time or a number of downloads as Firefox Send does. pcloud also needs an account.

    It is great to have the choice to host this File-Sharing Software yourself, while also being able to access public instances. You can find a list of Public Lufi-Instances at https://www.chatons.org/search/by-service?service_type_target_id=148

    The software is a great alternative, but it doesn't come hosted as a service so unless you know server stuff and have those resources this is of no use to you.
