Send is a self-hostable file sharing service designed for sending files securely via shareable links. It encrypts files client-side so the server stores only encrypted data, and supports link expiration and download limits to reduce data exposure.

Key Features

  • Client-side encryption for end-to-end encrypted file transfers
  • Shareable links with configurable expiration time
  • Download limits to automatically invalidate links after a set number of downloads
  • Optional password protection for shared files
  • Simple web interface focused on quick uploads and sharing

Use Cases

  • Securely sharing sensitive documents with time-limited access
  • Sending large files without giving recipients permanent storage access
  • Temporary file exchange for teams or external collaborators

Limitations and Considerations

  • Browser-based encryption means very large files may be constrained by client memory and device performance
  • Requires JavaScript in the client for encryption and upload workflows

Send is well-suited for organizations and individuals who want a straightforward, privacy-focused alternative to traditional file sharing. It emphasizes minimizing server-side trust while keeping the sharing workflow simple and fast.
