Easily Send Large Files Without Signing Up

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.

Pros

I 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.

Cons

The limit of 2gb for free accounts and expensive upgrades for storage is making this bad option if you are using it for bigger 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.

Pros

I 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.

Cons

I 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.

Login is Challenging

It is hit or miss. When it works it works - when it doesn't. The other day I opened up to see they now want client to create or enter a password. Had never seen this step - nor was notified it was being added. I am not fond of Drop Box or Google Drive - and it's only for this reason I keep trying to work with WeTransfer.

Pros

That I can upload large files and download large files.

Cons

I have had an account for over 6 years. It frustrates me no end when I go in to login to my account and it does not recognize my password. It takes me 3 to 5 minutes to reset my password. At first I thought is was me - then I made a conscious effort to track the situation. And it is on We Transfer side. Also when I ask people to upload to my account, WeTransfer distracts them to buy the service themselves before the process to upload their files. My clients are confused. I have to tell them how to use it without putting in their information.

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.

Pros

A 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.

Cons

Large 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.
