Firefox Send - Simple, private file sharing from the makers of Firefox

[girish]

@jdaviescoates Apparently, none of the client side works if you put an auth wall in the front (from my reading of the github issues I linked previously). It's meant to be a public site as it stands it seems.

To be clear, I have nothing against this on Cloudron, but it's low priority atm since I suspect it's quite dangerous to run this on a Cloudron instance (maybe I am not understanding how it's deployed). You might think your instance is private, but your file link will get passed around and anyone can upload anything.

Yeah that doesn't bother me since Jirafeau does the job (at least for me)

I think lots of us are already running public instances of Jirafeau tbh. I don't get what is so different/ more dangerous about Firefox Send?

You can restrict uploads in Jirafeau - https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/jirafeau/#restricting-uploads . These things are usually only a problem only when it hits you and then it's very hard to "fix" since the service provider won't listen. For example, there have been many posts here in the past about insecure website warning from Google Chrome because of bad content hosted (by mistake) or A records pointing to some other server.

hello folks, I'm sorry to revive this old thread but today I found this fork that seems interesting:
