"With Send you can share file sizes up to 1GB quickly. To send files up to 2.5GB, sign up for a free Firefox account."

this is an interesting distinction; i'm not sure why there is a change for files over 1Gbyte. (perhaps the server mediates chunking up >1G files?)

regarding the end to end encryption, as long as you trust third party Mozilla, and protect your well generated secrets, it is robust:

(the same mechanism is used for Send as for Sync)
