Does filemail in browser require non free software for upload or download? Other options? Thanks.
https://framadrop.org uses Lufi, which is free JavaScript: https://framagit.org/luc/lufi
That piece of software is great. Your Web browser encrypts the file before sending it to the server, which has no way to read what you send. Your Web browser then generates a URL, which includes the key to decrypt, and proposes you to e-mail it. The Web browsers of the recipients will then download the file and decrypt it locally. It is all transparent, of course.
There is a video tutorial (showing how is the process), in French: https://old.framatube.org/media/tutoriel-framadrop
filemail provides 50gb for 7 days. If filemail can work about upload
and download in abrowser in trisquel 8 then filemail
does not require non free software?

If it works with JavaScript disabled, then yes. If not, you'll have to inspect the scripts yourself to determine whether or not they are free. If they have real (not minified) source code and a free license, then they are free software. Otherwise they are non-free.
Abrowser silently executes whatever JavaScript it receives. If you install the GNU LibreJS extension through https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/2227399/gnu_librejs-7.20.1-an+fx.xpi you will see that Filemail's JavaScript is proprietary: four scripts are blocked and a wheel is spinning forever on the page.
To have Framadrop keep the file for seven days, it must weight at most 200 MB. Above that, it is kept for 24 hours. The Framasoft association is funded by donations: it cannot afford much disk space. You could use the 'split -b 200MB' command to have pieces of at most 200 MB that would then upload one by one (the recipients would have to 'cat' them)... or you could setup an FTP or an SSH server.
Thank you. On debian 9 64bit firefox I uploaded a file
on framasoft. Downloading on debian 9 64bit
firefox worked. Downloading on trisquel
8 abrowser worked. Not on trisquel 8 icecat.
Trisquel 8 icecat displays the name
of the file. It does not
download it.
