Is filebin.net secure?

[Pesala]

Vivaldi says that Filebin.net is secure.

Edge and Firefox do not have a problem with it. However, someone on another forum claims that the certificate is invalid every time I post a link to the site.

It is convenient to use for sharing files. No registration is required and it is free. There is also no advertising, but the question inevitably arises, “How do they make any money?”

The problems were reported for Safari, iCab Mobile, and DuckDuckGo (I presume that is a browser, not the search engine).

Safari:

iCab Mobile:

DuckDuckGo:

How does it look on Vivaldi for Android?

According to Virus Total there are no malicious codes in Filebin, but nevertheless it has a poor assessment by the community,I guess for poor security, regarding privacy

says it's all ok

Anyway I prefer to use a P2P service, such as O&O File.Direct to share files and documents.

@Catweazle Me too. Vote for File-sharing Like Opera Unite

Well FileDirect is only for Windows, but there are quite a few alternatives for other operating systems, which allow files to be downloaded directly from another computer without an intermediary. This is the best way to do it, you keep full control over your files, there is no risk to privacy and there is no limit on the quantity and size of the files.Disadvantage, only one, your PC has to be on and online, so that the recipient can download the file.

@Catweazle Opera Unite was also direct from PC to PC. One could also set it up as a server, which is handy if you develop websites. Publish the client's website to your local drive, give the secure URL to a client, and make changes on the fly as they tell you what they want.

Yes, similar to FileDirect, another one is RetroShare free and cross platform for filesharing, chat, mail and more.

To get back on topic, has anyone tried filebin.net with Vivaldi for Android or the latest Opera? I don't have a mobile and uninstalled Opera.

@Pesala
Hi, tested with latest Opera on Linux and Vivaldi snapshot on Android shows valid certificates.

Cheers, mib

Without seeing the advanced info it could be any number of reasons why it fails for some.
The advanced info will show if it is trying to use a cert that is revoked, wrong or if it cannot be validated.

I generally rely on the cert and config scan provided by Qualys
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?&hideResults=on&d=filebin.net
and for a general overview of site security and reputation
https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/filebin.net
All green.

They probably have something interfering with the cert on their devices.
Unfortunately the only extension that can shed more light is abandoned since the last major change in extension API in Firefox.
Perspectives can show the key for the cert on a domain as seen by multiple servers around the world. This can show if different certs are being seen for some reason.
