However, as it isn't a "proper storage cloud", I'm not sure if it's even possible (e.g. you can't query your "drive's" quota). Has anyone tried to do that? Is is possible? If I find some time, I might try to write the addon, but maybe TB core team might want to have it as an integrated feature (e.g. as the default filelink provider). Let's discuss the progress in this bug.

Firefox Send is still maintained by Tim Visée here, now called just "Send". There are about a dozen public Send instances people can use, including Tim's at https://send.vis.ee. Therefore, I think this bug should be reopened. There are no other FileLink providers/services that support end-to-end encryption.

I have a "FileLink provider for Send" add-on that I just created and am currently testing. It allows users to enter the hostname of the Send instance they want to use, along with other info (see screenshot here). It will then encrypt and upload the files to that Send server. At some point, I may submit the add-on to ATN, although it would of course be best if this functionality were integrated into Thunderbird.
