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.
