Datto Workplace vs. WeTransfer

This is a great system for anyone that works where items/projects are shared with multiple co-workers. People can access the document at the same time but it will create duplicates, so you would have to figure out what the other person changed in the file so it is all in one place. It would not be good if multiple people have to access a document at the exact same time.

I would definitely recommend WeTransfer - especially the paid version. I feel like all of the shortcomings with the free service (file size limit & content deletion after 7 days) are all fixed when you upgrade your account, and the service is not very expensive. It only costs $12/monthly or $120/annually. WeTransfer makes it so easy to send files, and the additional features such as creating a link to your content & password protection are great. Very straightforward & easy to use.

• WeTransfer makes it pretty easy to upload files. You cannot create file/folder structures inside of it, but you can .zip files to send.
• WeTransfer creates and provides share links, which can be dropped into emails for multiple users at once.
• Paid version allows you to customize more parts of the software.

Incentivized

• I'd love to be able to sync to my phone and access documents without having to download/upload.

Incentivized

• With the free version, you are limited to 2GB of file transferring. Likely if you are sending lots of files, you'll be upgrading to Plus instead.
• Download links expire after a certain amount of time. It's important to download each link immediately and not forget where you left the downloaded files.

WeTransfer is one of the most usable software. Incredibly smart and simple interface that I’m not sure has a comparable example that is as easy to use. The immediate ability to do what WeTransfer provides a solution for is a genius-level move from the creators. Well done, WeTransfer, well done.

WeTransfer is extremely reliable 99% of the time. There has been twice in 4 years that their service was unavailable due to server outage for several hours.

I've only reached out to WeTransfer support once, but they were prompt, courteous, and answered my question. I assume that future interactions would be the same, I'm looking forward to being a long term customer.

They are both great and I use both daily. Google Drive does have a slight leg up in that multiple people can make edits to a document at the same time and it doesn't create conflicting documents. You can also see the changes in real-time.

I did not choose to use Image Relay, the client did. I really like Image Relay and the fact that you can organize files in different folders, but not the fact that you have to create an account, have access to all the files and folders, and remind passwords. With WeTransfer skipping all these requirements, it is way easier and faster.

• Easier to share documents from different location.
• Doesn't work well if more than one person needs to access/edit the doc at the same time.
• Easy to find documents when needed.

Incentivized

• I can work faster since it's easy to use and reliable. Some other file transfer platforms have failed me and are too complex to manage.
• I keep my clients happy - never have they had any issues with a transfer.
• It is not an exclusive use platform, so I can use it with everyone - even new clients.
