    Send lets you share files with end-to-end encryption

    How is this possible if the only thing that is shared between sender and receiver is just a link (that is provided by the website)?

    How can we trust https://send.vis.ee/? Who are they?

      How it works: I don’t know about this service in particular, but usually the shared contains the encryption key so like this: example.com/files/file_id/encryption_key or something similar

      As for trust: This appears to be a individual, so you will have to just trust it when using the public instance. However, since it is FOSS, you can audit the code and spin up your own instance
