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.

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.

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.

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.

PROS

As a marketing coordinator, digital designer, video editor, and photographer in the hotel industry, I've had the pleasure of using WeTransfer as my go-to file sharing service. Here are the top advantages I've experienced:Simplicity and Ease of Use: WeTransfer's user-friendly interface makes sharing large files a breeze. With just a few clicks, I can effortlessly send contracts, certificates, and media kits to guests and partners interested in our services. The intuitive design ensures a smooth and hassle-free experience, saving me precious time and energy.Speed and Reliability: WeTransfer's high-speed file transfers are a game-changer. Whether I'm sharing high-resolution images or large video files, I can trust that my files will be uploaded and delivered swiftly.

The ability to customize the email message and add my branding elements elevates the overall presentation when sharing files with clients or collaborators. It helps create a positive and consistent brand image for our hotel marketing endeavors.

CONS

While WeTransfer offers numerous benefits, here are a couple of aspects that could be improved:Storage Limitations: WeTransfer's free version has a file size limit, which may pose a challenge when dealing with extremely large files. However, considering the service's primary purpose as a file transfer tool, it's understandable that there are limitations. Upgrading to the paid version provides additional storage and larger file transfer capacities, addressing this concern.Lack of File Organization Features: WeTransfer primarily focuses on file sharing rather than comprehensive file management. It would be beneficial to have basic organizational features, such as folder creation or file categorization, within the service itself. However, I've found workarounds by organizing files on my local device or utilizing external cloud storage solutions alongside WeTransfer.

Wetranfer review

Wetranfer solved alot as to mention , -Time management.(no long procedures) -Reliability (Day&night one can send files) -Management easy to work with.

PROS

It's integration with my work is pre say beacause i tried many soft ware apps before and sometimes they wouldn't send bigger files and wetranfer did just fine without any hiccups in the process, it saved me money didn't have to go an extra mile just to send a colleague 500mb file.

CONS

Somtime a client would share a link and in the process I've to wait forever to get my files, sometimes i have to back to a client ask them to re-send the file that i believe should be a big concern. It's interface is good but not easy get around maybe that should be fixed to especially for new users, they allow ask me how to send file with we Wetranfer and that simply means ...an interface is still abit of a problem for other people. Make sure to have clear guidelines on how to go about the App.

Reasons for switching to WeTransfer

Whatsapp can't send any bigger files.
