FileLink provider for Send 2.1.1
by Teal Dulcet
Securely encrypt and upload large attachments to any Send service instance (formerly Firefox Send).
About this Add-on
Easily and securely encrypt and upload large attachments to any Send service instance (formerly Firefox Send) and send the links via e-mail using the Thunderbird CloudFile/FileLink API. Firefox Send was discontinued by Mozilla in 2020. It is now maintained by Tim Visée and called just Send, but soon will be resurrected by Thunderbird.
More information on the encryption used can be found in the official Send service documentation here.
