## What is Send?
|
||||
|
||||
Bitwarden Send is a secure and ephemeral way to transmit sensitive information to **anyone**. Sends can include plaintext or file attachments up to 100 MB. Every Send is assigned a randomly generated and secure link, which can be [shared with anyone]({% link _articles/send/receive-send.md %}) (including those who *do not* have Bitwarden accounts) via text, email, or whatever communication channel you prefer. Every Send is:

Bitwarden Send is a secure and ephemeral way to transmit sensitive information to **anyone**. Sends can include plaintext or file attachments up to 500 MB (100 MB if creating from Mobile). Every Send is assigned a randomly generated and secure link, which can be [shared with anyone]({% link _articles/send/receive-send.md %}) (including those who *do not* have Bitwarden accounts) via text, email, or whatever communication channel you prefer. Every Send is:
|
||||
|
||||
- **End-to-end Encrypted**: Data in a Send is [encrypted]({{site.baseurl}}/article/send-encryption/#send-encryption) on creation, and only [decrypted]({{site.baseurl}}/article/send-encryption/#send-decryption) when a recipient opens the Send link. The contents of a Send are stored **encrypted** in Bitwarden systems, just like a traditional Vault item. The link generated for each send doesn't contain any data related to the Send's contents, so it's safe to share over intermediary communications services without exposing information to Bitwarden or any used intermediary services.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Dynamically Ephemeral**: Sends are designed for ephemeral sharing, so every [Send that you create]({% link _articles/send/create-send.md %}) will have a specified [lifespan]({% link _articles/send/send-lifespan.md %}) (*max 31 days*) that can be configured using pre-set options or a custom timestamp for down-to-the-minute specification. When its deletion date is reached, the Send and its contents will be completely purged from Bitwarden systems. Using additional options like [Expiration Date]({{site.baseurl}}/article/send-lifespan/#expiration-date) and [Maximum Access Count]({{site.baseurl}}/article/send-lifespan/#maximum-access-count), you can ensure that access to recipients is terminated according to your needs.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Customizably Private**: Protect the contents of your Send by optionally [configuring a password]({{site.baseurl}}/article/send-privacy/#send-passwords) for access so that no unintended recipients can see the contained information. For text Sends, you can also optionally [require users to toggle visibility]({{site.baseurl}}/article/send-privacy/#hide-text) to prevent exposure to unintentional onlookers.

Using Bitwarden Send is a simple two-step process:

|
||||
1. [Create your Send]({% link _articles/send/create-send.md %}), setting whichever [lifespan options]({% link _articles/send/send-lifespan.md %}) and [privacy options]({% link _articles/send/send-privacy.md %}) are required to fit your sharing needs.
|
||||
2. Share the Send link with the [intended recipients]({% link _articles/send/receive-send.md %}), using whatever communication channel you prefer.
|
||||
|
||||
As the Sender, we recommend that you keep track of your Send's [configured lifespan]({% link _articles/send/send-lifespan.md %}). To make that as easy as possible, Sends in your Send view will display [a set of status icons]({{site.baseurl}}/article/send-faqs/#q-what-do-the-icons-next-to-my-sends-indicate) whenever a lifespan event (for example, expiration) has occurred.

## Hidden-email Sends
|
||||
|
||||
By default, Send objects will display the email address of the Sender to recipients, as in the above screenshot. Senders can optionally hide their email address from the Send object, which will substitute in a warning message:
|
||||
|
||||
{% image send/send-email-hidden-file.png %}
|
||||
|
||||
If you receive a Send with this error message, here's what you should do:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Was this Send expected?**
|
||||
|
||||
If this Send was expected, get in touch with the expected Sender. Validate with this person that the received Send link (`https://vault.bitwarden.com/#/send/xxx/yyy`) matches the one they created.
|
||||
- **Was this Send unexpected?**
|
||||
|
||||
If this Send was unexpected, you should identify the Sender before interacting with it. Ask your colleagues, managers, or friends who have Bitwarden accounts whether they might have sent you something. If you do identify the Sender, validate with this person that the received Send link (`https://vault.bitwarden.com/#/send/xxx/yyy`) matches the one they created. **If you can't identify the Sender**, don't interact with the Send.
