Send
Send is an end-to-end encrypted file sharing service that encrypts files on the sender's device before upload, ensuring the server never sees plaintext content. It generates secure download links that are designed for single use, automatically removing access after the first successful download, and associates each share with a time-limited access token that expires after a set duration.
The service operates without requiring user accounts, lowering friction for ephemeral sharing, and uses cryptographic key derivation to generate decryption keys from the download URL, eliminating server-side key storage. Files are split into smaller chunks for incremental upload and download, reducing memory pressure, and are served statelessly from storage without maintaining session state, simplifying scaling and reliability.
Features
- Encrypted File Sharing - Shares files securely by encrypting them on the sender's device before transfer, ensuring only the intended recipient can decrypt and access them.
- Account-less Uploads - Allows file uploads and link generation without user authentication, lowering friction for ephemeral sharing.
- Self-Destructing File Links - A file sharing service that creates time-limited or download-limited links that automatically expire after use.
- Self-Destructing File Links - Creates time-limited or download-limited links that automatically expire after use, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
- Single-Use Download Links - Generates unique URLs that self-destruct after the first successful download, enforcing single-use access.
- Private - Sends files between parties without exposing content to the server or third parties, maintaining confidentiality throughout the exchange.
- Client-Side Encryption - Encrypts files in the browser before upload, ensuring the server never sees plaintext content.
- End-To-End Encryption Systems - Shares files securely by encrypting them on the sender's device before transfer, ensuring only the intended recipient can decrypt and access them.
- URL-Derived Decryption Keys - Derives decryption keys from the download URL using a hash-based algorithm, eliminating server-side key storage.
- End-to-End Encryption - Transfers files with encryption that ensures only the sender and recipient can read the content, preventing server-side decryption.
- One-Time File Deliveries - Distributes files through links designed for single use, automatically removing access after the first download.
- Streaming File Chunking - Splits large files into smaller chunks for incremental upload and download, reducing memory pressure.
- Time-Limited API Tokens - Associates each share with an expiration timestamp, automatically revoking access after the set duration.
- Stateless Serving Layers - Serves files directly from storage without maintaining session state, simplifying scaling and reliability.
- File Management - Listed in the “File Management” section of the Awesome Selfhosted awesome list.
- File Sharing - Private, end-to-end encrypted temporary file sharing service.
