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.

It is the most appropriate tool to quickly share documents with someone you don't want to give access to your company's own online library, yet you have to share files. It's great that there's no need to create a user, nor for uploading or downloading files. Just have in mind that the documents on the link have an expiration day!

• You don't have to sign up for an account, you can just use it when visiting the website.
• It is really simple and straightforward to use.
• It has never failed me.

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

• 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.

While Dropbox does offer features that WeTransfer does not in terms of collaboration & organization, WeTransfer is the better option for simple file transfers. In my experience, WeTransfer is much faster for uploads & downloads. The premium version of WeTransfer also offers a lot of customization options that Dropbox does not.

• 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.

• When we've had our BETA testing programs for our products, we always used WeTransfer to send our BETA version of our products. Doing this using WeTransfer was free and we also didn't have to worry about unauthorized people later down the road downloading these versions as WeTransfer deletes the files after a small number of days.
