> Do you routinely monitor a large portion of file sharing that goes on in the world?
I routinely receive assistance requests for expired links that lead to data loss (as in at least once a week) during work hours and assistance requests like "how to upload a folder of files, not just that file" or "where do I put the email ?" or "why are the files gone ? I just sent the link again but my contact says it's not working".
None are about FF send (not for a lack of trying).

I monitor enough, without having all the variables in the world and the number of TCP packets that went through Firefox send at hand, to form an opinion that goes something like: "Yeah, that FF send thing isn't catching enough users to impact wetransfer usage significantly any time soon or to force Dropbox into releasing their own spin of the thing." Hence my question - that you conveniently cut off - for numbers. It shows that I am ready to change my mind, that my opinion is just... my opinion.
Yeah, people navigate the world with intuition and mushy feelings and opinions. What's weird is that you are surprised by it and feel like pointing it out.
Of course there'll always be people using niche things... doesn't mean it's relevant at large.
Hacking Gameboy ROM in your free time ? Pretty cool. Guess what, that console is still dead.

I don't believe for a moment that you are "sorry".
Sorry, but this is just a weird (but common) way to try to pass for being polite while truly offering a condescending and insincere apology before telling someone that he's wrong.
Do you have numbers to add to the conversation ?
> I personally use Firefox Send all the time. Works very well and I trust it to do the job.
