Is there any advantage to this over https://send.firefox.com/ ?

It says "Big Files" but I don't see an explicit size. Whereas send.firefox.com is 1GiB. Self hosted I imagine you're only limited by filesystem max file size.

One thing I like about send.firefox.com is it's a one time download, and then the URL is denied to have ever existed. CryptSend sounds like you could share the URL with multiple destinations; multiple downloads.

Firefox Send doesn't have an explicit limit either:

> For the most reliable operation, it’s best to keep your file under 1GB

The first thing that come to mind is that you can self-host cryptsend, while it doesnt seem to be possible to self-host send.firefox.com
You can indeed self-host Firefox Send: https://github.com/mozilla/send
Or use the docker container directly: $ docker pull mozilla/send

Thanks. Do you know of other self-hosted Mozilla products with ready-made containers?
Thanks for sharing! Looks like I'll use one of my VPS for that.
