About Send
Bitwarden Send is a tool to transmit sensitive text or files directly to anyone through secure, temporary links. Send can be used to transmit text up to 1,000 encrypted characters or files up to 500 MB (or 100 MB on mobile) and can be shared with anyone via text, email, or any preferred communication channel.
note
If you're a member of an organization that activated the Remove Send policy, your access to Sends is limited:
You cannot create new Sends or edit existing ones.
You can view and delete Sends from the Sends page in all Bitwarden clients, except the web app.
You cannot access the Sends page with the Bitwarden web app.
Accessing Send
Sends are created, edited, managed, and deleted from the Send view in any Bitwarden app. Access the Send view from the primary navigation:
Each Send has a configured lifespan which allows you to monitor the Send. Your created Sends will display status icons when a lifespan-related event occurs:
Icon | Meaning |
|---|---|
This Send is protected by a password. | |
This Send has been manually disabled. | |
This Send has reached its specified expiration date. | |
This Send has reached its specified maximum access count. | |
This Send has reached its specified deletion date and is pending deletion. |
Using Send
Using Bitwarden Send is a three-step process:
Create a Send and configure its lifespan options and privacy options to fit your sharing needs.
Share the Send link with recipients through any channel you prefer.
Recipients open the Send link to access the content.

Attachments on individual vault items and all Sends use the individual storage space granted by premium subscriptions or organizations. Attachments on organization owned items use shared organizational storage space. Learn how to add storage space.
