About Wormhole
Wormhole is a file sharing site that runs in the browser. You drop in files, up to 10 GB, and get a link to send to someone. Files are end-to-end encrypted and the link expires automatically, so what you share does not stay online indefinitely.
It suits people who want to send large files to someone without installing an app and without leaving copies on a server for good.
Strengths
- End-to-end encrypted file sharing
- Links expire automatically
- Sends up to 10 GB with no install
Limitations
- Transfers are capped at 10 GB
- Depends on a hosted service
