### 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.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### 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.

#### Reasons for choosing WeTransfer

Bitrix is more expensive and for much complex workflow management as conpared to wetransfer.

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.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### 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.

#### Reasons 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

- Overall rating: 5/5

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.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### 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.

#### Reasons 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.

### The most simple and straight-forward file transfer service

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Angelo J.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Computer Games
- Company size: Self-Employed

I use WeTranfer on my day-to-day basis, and being a game developer I handle with lots of assets, builds, and large archives. WeTransfer has never failed me. It greatly improved my workflow being so intuitive and simple, sharing files with clients with a few clicks has never been so easy.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Seriously, it is a really simple and intuitive service. Just a few buttons focusing on what it's supposed to offer, and it delivers flawlessly. Even the ads they came up with an elegant solution that I've just realized until recently it were ads! Despite covering the whole screen, they use beautiful and artistic pictures and videos. Beyond that, there's no need to sign up, or leave any personal information, you just drop your files, hit "Transfer" and that's it. Of course, being able to do that have its limitations, like the 2GB file limit (which for the most people is not a real limitation) and some other specific features.

#### Cons

The only negative aspect I had to talk about was the file limit per day, but they have removed that! Now you can transfer limitlessly (you still have that 2GB file limit though).

#### Reasons for switching to WeTransfer

Dropbox was the big dog of file sharing/transfer service. Not anymore, at least for me. What made me switch to WeTransfer was the end of public folder feature. Of course, in its core Dropbox is different from WeTransfer, it tackles a different problem. But most people used Dropbox for the "simplicity" of sharing files. Well, the "simplicity's" definition has been updated by WeTransfer.

The benefits of working with wetransfer is the ability to send files in seconds, have an e-mail that confirmed your sending & an alert when the other person dowload the files. Intuitive, fast and easy.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 4/5

#### Pros

Wetransfer is a site or app that is easy to use and super accessible from all kind of users. You can send any tipe of file (jpg, pdf, videos & much more) in seconds to multiple e-mail or accounts. The coolest feature is the verified download in real time when the other person has dowloaded your file.

#### Cons

I think the app is a great way to send any type of files and I don’t find anything that could be better. There are plenty of options for sending bigger files & anything is well explained.

#### Reasons for switching to WeTransfer

Dropbox for some users it’s a little bit “difficult” as a concept to understand. Before wetransfer I sent dropbox link and I didn’t know when the files were download or not causing a lot of space occupied by those files. With wetransfer I don’t occupy too much space and I have an actual confirm of the other person downloading the files I’m sending him/her.

### Best File Sharing I've Used

- Overall rating: 5/5

I primarily use the software to share large files with members outside of my organization. I particularly like how it keeps them out of my database. With cloud services I'm always concerned they will receive a permission unintentionally or longer than they should. It's really as simple as sending an email with WeTransfer.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

The ease of use is immense. I used this very frequently for a tourism company where I shared videos and photos with guests from our trip. The platform is incredibly straightforward to upload and email, simple as that. It creates a ZIP file for you and sends the receiver a link where they can download your files. It is way more clear cut than sharing with Google Drive and easier to manage than Dropbox.

#### Cons

The free version does have an expiration on the link but it has never caused any issues. I primarily use the software for file sharing and it's other capabilities such as team collaboration don't get used by my organization.

#### Reasons for choosing WeTransfer

WeTransfer is simpler. I still receive emails from old clients' Dropbox that just say, "Company A's Dropbox has been updated". With WeTransfer that cord is cut as soon as the client accesses the link.

#### Reasons for switching to WeTransfer

I was sharing lots of large files which once they were in the client's possession I had no need to store them anymore. With Google Drive/Dropbox I was concerned about deleting files that the clients were accessing but hosted on our network. With WeTransfer I store my files to my hard-drive and once I received notice from WeTransfer that the link was downloaded I could clean up my storage.

### Simple yet Powerful Solution to Sharing Big Files That Matter

Overall, it is undoubtedly one of the best services of that kind that I have used over the years. In many cases, I find it even more convenient than a cloud storage solution because nothing is linked to one specific account and there is no need to garbage collect archives that are no longer in use. This can be a doubled-edge sword, but frankly one can just reupload files when needed or realize how much or how little interest the recipient has when getting an email confirmation when the files have been downloaded, which is obviously another great feature of WeTransfer. In work situations, this actually is wonderfully useful as the recipient can't fake that the information hasn't got through. It even works equally well for transferring encrypted archives that contain sensitive information and so we have given our trust to this service many, many times. I haven't personally needed to contact their customer support yet, but I have seen how well WeTransfer treat their customers and I have no doubt they will be there when the time comes.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

WeTransfer is very easy to use, both for the sender and the recipient. In fact, no user needs to create an account to start with: it is just a matter of using the intuitive interface to upload one or more files and indicate an email for the files to be received. This comes in handy to send files that are too large to be attached in an email but that still need to be delivered to people who aren't necessarily tech-savvy. There is also a very useful feature available to generate a link instead of sending an email. It never failed on me during a transfer, nor when sending or receiving an email. It has consistently worked flawlessly and gives valid reasons to switch to a paid account, especially for the additional nice benefits it offers: you can transfer 20GB at once; store up to 100GB; files are kept for longer; you can password-protect files and you can even have your own personalized web address with a custom background wallpaper. Even with a free account, it never feels like a limited service: downloads and uploads are quick and reliable.

#### Cons

After sharing dozens and dozens of files with family, friends and colleagues, there is only one drawback with WeTransfer: most of the files uploaded, being sent through free accounts, will expire after 7 days. Most of the time, this is more than enough, but it can cause some troubles to have to reupload the exact same big files (or sometimes series of files) because the recipient haven't taken the time to download them. One great feature that could potentially save some bandwidth for everyone would be to have the ability to extend the expiration date a day or two before it is supposed to expire. As a workaround for now, it is indeed convenient to have a Premium account to avoid this pitfall. I almost exclusively use this service on a laptop, but I will admit that I did experience some troubles with the iPhone application: when transferring an archive that was too large to fit on the smartphone, it somehow hung up and there was no way to fix the issue through the app. Hopefully, it was possible to use a third-party application to manually find and deleted the partially downloaded archive to free up some space and give life back to the WeTransfer app.

Let's see if what you want is to send files and have a good transfer system, you should use this tool, it's easy, it has a super inspiring interface because they share works in their home artists, that allows you to have a pleasant feeling, then upload and manage your files is very easy and does not require a lot of science, just send and click, it has a preview for some uncompressed files, it has a security system that arrives by email to confirm that you are the one sending the files and that gives you security, it is indisputably a key tool if you work remotely

#### Cons

falls short with the amount of gb in test mode to send files, 2 gb is currently very little.

Thanks to WeTranfer I have been able to send large files by email to my coworkers. Nowadays there are many services to store files online, but the bad thing is that many times they want to take money from us when it is used frequently. On the other hand, with WeTranfer I have sent many files and it always works excellent and best of all, I do it for free.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

Several years ago, sometimes I needed to send large files of up to 1GB to my coworkers and I didn't have a platform that met that goal. Until I discovered WeTransfer, from that moment it is one of my favorites to send large files. Something that I love is that it is not necessary for the person who receives the file to see advertising in order to download it, that is a great advantage. Also the fact that you can send files up to 2GB by email is excellent and it is not necessary for the person to register to download it. It is very easy to use WeTransfer, you do not need to search for tutorial videos to know how to use this wonderful platform.

#### Cons

I just think it has a disadvantage. The maximum time the platform gives me to download the file is 7 days, after that the file is automatically deleted. I would like the expiration time to be at least 14 days, so that many users who keep busy or have slow internet can download the document comfortably and without the worry that they have little time left to download it.

### An state of the art and powerful way to share big files

WeTransfer does what it promises, FileTransfer made simple, fast and affordable. A great asset for anyone that deals daily with big files and impatient clients.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

WeTransfer made it impossibly easy and efficient to Transfer files. They focus and they excel, they don't really host your files, they transfer them. Your files, if on the free plan, have a 7-day lifespan. The receiver gets a link and you get to know when they downloaded it, simple and great. The interface is usable for no tech-savvy users (this is where many Cloud services fail because your client will need an account on the service, install a client, etc). In fact, neither you or your client need an account to transfer your files, you just need a link generated by the platform. The downloading and uploading speed is incredible, even in places with poorer connections. Gone are the days of USB sticks, trash on your Cloud accounts, emails or the client saying "I didn't get it" when they did. I often share heavy files like RAW files and .psd projects and this tool has proved wonders. Like a professional mediator between you and your client. "Here is his work, please download it". This company has also a great eye on design, proved by their beautiful backgrounds, super simple interface and now on the great stories featured on WePresent.

#### Cons

The mobile app can be buggy if you are dealing with a big file. This is not a problem but can happen, in a remote scenario, that you delete the mail with the link and your client does the same then the link is forever lost. It could be great to retrieve a log of the active links under my mail, for example, I could send an email to WeTransfer with a subject of "Log" and I will be replied with my current links (I understand the security issues involved). Many people seem to be a concern on how the company handles the privacy and security of the files shared, in the case of sharing highly-confidential files I would think it twice.
