Hello,
The user experience with Bitwarden Send could be improve. When people wants to download a file thanks to Bitwarden Send, there is no progress bar at the bottom of the browser (contrary to any usual download). Instead of that there is only a rotating circle in the middle of the page. It’s not a problem for short files but when you have to download large files (let say more than 100Mo), it becomes a problem because you have the impression that it just doesn’t work, especially if you have low connectivity.
Would it be possible to see the progress of the download in order to understand that the download is ongoing?
Thanks!

Please see previous discussion here.
When a user clicks the button to download a Send from a browser, they potentially have to wait a very long time until the browser reacts. The download button spins but there is no other sign of activity, leading many users to assume the download is not working and then contact me for support. This is especially problematic on slow Internet connections or for large files, which might involve a long wait.
I understand there are probably reasons (in-memory decryption, perhaps?) that the browser cannot react until the file is fully downloaded, but a progress bar would go a long way to reassuring users that the download is proceeding, and generally improve UX on the receiver side.
Thanks
