    Transfer.it vs Send Comments

    Unlike Send, this one is not end-to-end encrypted. Password protection is for authentication only, your browser still gets a regular HTTPS link to download unencrypted contents.

    I would not trust a service with such "generous" free tier with files that weren't encrypted locally before uploading, and sharing a password separately from the link with the other party is simply less convenient.

    Wormhole vs Send Comments

    Positive

    It is proprietary, but at least it is end-to-end encrypted.

    Files over 5GB aren't actually uploaded to the server but P2P shared, which isn't mentioned on the page before uploading, but it's a good feature when you learn about it and when it works.

    But in P2P mode it also clutters browser's local storage, I had to clean this website's data manually to unclutter it.
