About Send
Bitwarden Send is an encrypted file and text sharing tool that transmits sensitive information 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.
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:
note
If you are a member of an organization that activated the Send controls policy's Remove Send option, you cannot create new Sends or edit existing ones. While the Sends page cannot be accessed with the Bitwarden web app when this policy is enforced, you can view or delete existing Sends from any other client.
Using Send
Using Bitwarden Send is a two-step process: Create your Send and share with intended recipients. To create a Send:
Select New Send:
New Send Select the required lifespan options and privacy options to fit your sharing needs.
Send options Share the Send link using any communication channel you prefer.
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. |
