Very reliable and fast
WeTransfer performs well for me when used for uploading to an external server. It supports collaboration and large file uploads and sharing between our own servers and those of others. We're particularly fond of WeTransfer for generating assets for partners, vendors and clients.
PROSA limit is imposed for file storage up to 2GB. This is superior to what other free file hosts allow, as I don't know much about hosts that allow storage up to 1GB. No registration. My recipients can upload their own email addresses, add themselves manually, and send me the finished file. No registration or lengthy wait for approval is required; they simply upload and send. WeTransfer enables you to check whether the file has been opened and whether the recipient has read it.
CONSLarge uploads may fail unless your network is unusually strong (e.g., you have to pay for a premium account). The Password and Expiration date features of WeTransfer are not exclusive to the Paid version of the app. Chrome can be a bit quirky during the uploading process - at times, the process may take more than one attempt.
Reason for choosing WeTransfer
Several big files have to be transmitted, which consist of high-resolution images that we sell. This is the lifeblood of our business. We depend on Dropbox, but other businesses collaborate with companies like WeTransfer. It seems most helpful when dealing with a larger company that has a robust firewall and will not allow users to get behind the firewall and run software like Dropbox.

Limited Features for Free
Overall, I would rather use Dropbox or Google Drive for sending files, for the simple fact that the files are not automatically deleted from Dropbox or Google Drive after a certain amount of time. I would much rather be prompted to delete a file myself to clear off space on a host site or app than lose a file simply because 30 days have passed. This is a surefire way to lose something important that you forgot to back up.
PROSWeTransfer is definitely user-friendly and easy to use, but only for very simple file transfers (2 GB or less). The user experience is pretty straightforward - upload a file, input the email address you want to appear as the sender of the file (usually your own, but can be any email address), and input the the email address or addresses you'd like the file to be sent to. It's a very quick way to send files if you're looking to do so at a moment's notice.
CONSThe least helpful feature of this software is that files that have been sent via WeTransfer expire after 30 days, and after that 30 days, the sent file(s) are no longer accessible, and can no longer be downloaded. This is an especially frustrating feature as an employee of a media company, who constantly needs to ensure that footage is not deleted or lost. For anyone who always needs a backup of a backup, I would not recommend using WeTransfer.

Secure and efficient
What I don't like about the other online transfer service is that if you are not a paid customer, they will make you feel that the transfer is extremely slow. In a way that it makes you feel little. Wetransfer has very cool graphic and interface and obviously works well with artistic mind.
PROSI have been using WeTransfer for a number of years and actually I recommend the others to use it. Now I like it even more after they add one extra step to put in the verification code, so it cut down the spam. Also, it will send you email to inform you if the other side download the file with detail information.
CONSI wish they won't send a reminder that the download file is about to expire, it's confusing. At the beginning, I though the other side didn't download the file yet and it's going to expire. It's not necessary and create confusion.

Great website
It lets us transfer huge amounts of files to customers that are way to big to be emailed. It literally takes 2 min to complete the process, very easy to use even for the average user. If not for a website like this the customer would have to drive to us and grab a memory stick or vice versa. Saves so much time.
CONSThere is no cons to WeTransfer other then if you need to do more then 2gb of files I know of another website/company that lets you transfer 4gb for free.

PROSThis server is simply a wonderful an very useful way to share files online. Literally, helped me a lot because there are files that I cannot sent by email and here is when We Transfer appears to solve the situation.

The only way to send files.
My overall experience with Wetransfer has been above average. We have tried to use similar platforms, but they just don't compare to the ease of using Wetransfer. We receive and send confidential auditions everyday and I feel secure using Wetransfer. My favorite feature is the detailed list of files you have sent and those that are still in need to be transferred. This feature helps keep me organized when we are downloading hundreds of auditions. I also love that he saves my previous send addresses. This makes sending files fast and accurate.
PROSIn my industry we receive and send large files all day. Knowing that your computer is safe from viruses is invaluable. The safety associated with Wetransfer.com is the biggest pro in my opinion.
CONSWhat I like least about this product others love. I'm not a fan of the tracking of the file you send and the notifications when it hasn't been downloaded. I find this feature to not always be accurate and it causes me a lot of headaches in having to explain this to my actors.
Reason for choosing WeTransfer
The ease of use without having to install additional software was one reason. All my agents can use this easily was the second reason. Ease of use overall.

Simple and straightforward file sharing platform on cloud
Overall wetransfer is great tool if I nned to tranfer a file quickly to someone for a limited time as they auti delete files adter 24 hours if you have signed up. As a team lead I need to send files everyday and hence wetransfer helped me to do it quickly.
PROSI loved the interface as its really easy to understand where goes what. Also when you upload a file, its automatically get added with instructions onin file manager. I don't need a account if I want to share files under 2 gb so anyone from anywhere just upload the files and share link with anyone.
CONSThe limit of 2gb for free accounts and expensive upgrades for storage is making this bad option if you are using it for bigger files.
Reason for choosing WeTransfer
Other option that I searched for have compulsory signuo policy to use their cloud sharing platform. Wetransfer don't have this limit results into easy adoption.
Reasons for switching to WeTransfer
Google drive is much better option but you need to sign up everytime if you're using different devices. Wetranfer eliminates this hurdle with no signup transfer utp 2gb files.

Easy on the go file transfer platform with API for small enterprises
Overall wetransfer is better in their niche as they provide faster file transfer with freemium plan. I think wetransfer is not just a transfer platform its more of a workflow management app. I will recommend this for newbies but enterprises should think of other solutions too.
PROSI liked the way they provide tranfer link to share anywhere without any trouble to provide unnecessary permissions. And most important thing I liked is that they notify sender whether file has been downloaded by receiver. Transferring speed and organised files make it a perfect choice for me.
CONSI am more price sensitive while purchasing wetrabfer storage or premium features. They cost really high for small storage. Also I don't like their mobile version as I couldn't organise files properly. They should also increase file size limit from 2gb to 5 gb as most ofbthe files we tranfer are morebthan 2gb rhat we need to break and send separately.
Reason for choosing WeTransfer
Bitrix is more expensive and for much complex workflow management as conpared to wetransfer.

Transfer files efficiently
Sharing large files with colleagues and customers becomes really simple by simply sharing a link, and this is possibly one of the software that I use so much in my work environment. So far, I've had no issues with the software, and it helps me work more efficiently by shortening the uploading time and no registration needed.
CONSOne of problem that i face while using this software is, that data transferred to the cloud will be deleted after a certain time, even with the paid version. It can store the files for a maximum of one month and can't be extended more than that timeline. Apart from that, the app has worked well for me.
Reasons for switching to WeTransfer
PandaDoc can store all the document that i store with it, but not very good in sharing the files with others.

WeTransfer : Powerfull and Feature Rich Application.
Overall its a great platform to use . There can be slider like option that you need more days or GB. WeTransfer if the perfect tool to manage and share your document over the cloud. One can access the files over the mobile and thus it is the greatest feature that you have the big files of many GBs in your mobile. One can simply share the link and other can able to modify and edit the files making it very easy tool to collaborate with the users . USP of this application is its capability to securely transfer your large files in few seconds securely.
PROS1. Its all about transferring large files over the web protocells. 2. Easy to upload and download the large files
CONSLimits to upload the GBs can be more while we can compromise with the number of days for which the link is valid.
Reasons for switching to WeTransfer
Google Drive is also great feature rich platform but in that case one need to manage the folders to share and you need to delete the folders once done. Using We Transfer all these hassles are not there.

Very easy to use with great insight into local and global stories and brands that run in the background while your transfer is busy uploading and sending.
PROSWe Transfer is easy to use, keeps the receiver and sender up to date on everything that happens with the transfer and even reminds the receiver if he or she has not downloaded the files.
CONSThe transferred files have a link that is only valid for 7 days and the limit to transfer files is only 2GB. With competitors offering higher transfer quotas We Transfer will most likely be a second choice for users looking at sending files that are larger than 2GB
Reason for choosing WeTransfer
We transfer showcases local and international artists stories and has some great entries on their blog. You can read and entertain yourself while the upload is busy.

WeTransfer Makes File Sharing THAT Much Easier and Secure!
My experience with WeTransfer is very positive, both in the workplace and at home. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking to quickly, securely, and efficiently transfer files to check out WeTransfer.
PROSOne thing I love about transfering files through WeTransfer is its incredible simplicity and ease of use. It is fast, simple, and secure. It's also free if you only plan to send files up to 2GB! Their Pro and Premium options allow you to send files of any size, which is a great perk if needed. You want to share a file with a colleague but it is too big for your email? No problem. Just open up https://wetransfer.com/ and upload your file, add your email and the email of your colleague and hit send! There is also the added feature that you can include a note of substantial length along with your file. After you have sent your file, WeTransfer immediately sends you an email letting you know that your file was sent successfully. Your colleague also receives an email from WeTransfer immediately letting them know you sent them a file. You are then notified when your colleague downloads your file, which is quite useful.
CONSI love that I can use WeTransfer to send up to 2GB for free, however $10-$19 monthly is a bit steep to enable sending larger files.

The best file transfer solution
It is the best solution and I recommend it to all my clients. It is easy to use, friendly and secure and does exactly what you want it to do. The free version is sufficient for everything. I enjoy receiving files by WeTransfer also -it is quick and easy.
PROSI recommend this to every client - it is easy to use, and does not require an account. It tracks when the files were downloaded. You don't have to continually "clean it out" and try to manage storage on your own computer or on the server. It doesn't install anything on your computer. I enjoy the little "tidbits" whenever you go to the website. It is so good, I feel guilty not buying the pro version!
CONSI would like the little window to be a bit bigger - it can sometimes be difficult to see a longer message. But it does keep your message concise, which is probably a good thing.
Reasons for switching to WeTransfer
With Dropbox I had to follow up afterwards to tell the user they can delete the files. I uninstalled dropbox on my own computer because I discovered it syncing files using up huge amounts of data and file space. I had to "manage" dropbox and learn the settings, where Wetransfer is simple for ad hoc and irregular transfers.

Wetranfer changed my way of transferring files!!!!!!
When I say that I change my way of transferring files I don't lie like when a medicine actually heals you but immediately, it was always the most cumbersome task to find easy and agile methods and when I discovered wetranfer I definitely felt comfortable, even when I speak in the Cons above section does not seem to me to be negative things if not ways to find new ways to develop the site, advice as a user that would be incredible will take the time to read
PROSIn principle I started using wetranfer because of my need to send files quickly and easily, the first thing I liked about this page was that there was no need to register to use it and I could use 2GB in my favor, I also liked the fact that I could send the file through a link or an email and that in this one I will be notified when the other person arrives and also what allowed me to keep track of my files, I also loved the innovative platform, sometimes it was not only to enter and send a file if every so often there was a work by some new artist and that generated curiosity to know it, apart from being a very practical page I like the concept it handles, from the clouds I think it is one of the most avant-garde platforms for I still use that. Definitely, these types of pages are excellent because they are not limited to entering and registering to be able to have access if it is not at the hand of those who need it, for me it is always important to be able to count on practicality
CONSOver time I realized that I wanted to have an account, but it did not leave me if it was not premium what disappointed me a little, another thing that I did not like was that I tried to send the link to another person and that the access was totally public, there should be some kind of encryption to protect the files because it could be exposed to fishing.

Total excellence in video, image and file sharing software.
Wetransfer is a high-performance software that you should start using immediately. The benefits it offers are fabulous and very easy to use. This software will open your eyes to the way you send documents online.
PROSI always tell my colleagues and supervisors, in my career as a photographer and editor there's a before and after since I've known this software. I say this because WeTransfer is a fascinating software that combines effectiveness in the delivery of videos, photographs and documents with quality service. One of the great benefits that I can mention from this software is that, as a result of my work, I have to send large photo packages to my bosses so that they can review the material and choose the photos they want, and Wetransfer allows me to send and receive large photo or video packages very easily and quickly, avoiding the limitations of e-mails, which was my most recurrent option when sending photographs or videos. Wetransfer allows you to send up to 2gb of information, enough to send the information I need.
CONSIn this section I will not comment, as I consider Wetransfer to be a software that revolutionized the way I sent the information I wanted, and all this very easily and quickly, I could not criticize a software like this, or at least, I have not found limitations or negative points to highlight in this review.
