WeTransfer in the Netherlands offers a large file transfer service which includes up to 20 GB transfer with its Pro service, as well as 100 GB of cloud storage.
WeTransfer is another large file sharing entity, however[,] once a file is uploaded, the other user has a time limit to download it. Once that time limit is over, the file is erased. Dropbox has no such time limit, and thus is superior in that regard. Both offer a 2 gig free …
Dropbox seemed to be broader and provided more storage than its counterparts. However, when compared with WeTransfer, the ability to send a very large file with a time limit would be nice, even if the recipient doesn't have Dropbox. The link feature helps, but by default, …
WeTransfer doesn’t have the storage solution compared to the share and store features of Dropbox. Google Drive became way too expensive which is why we went to Dropbox, but will have to seek alternatives if price becomes an issue again. Frame.io we do use for reviewing because …
Dropbox is great as unlike WeTransfer, there is a whole file directory to browse. Not just one off file sharing

We preferred Dropbox due to anyone being able to use it and with common Office programs. Google Drive seems to require a gmail account for everything and, if using for editing, needs to use Google programs. Adobe is too hard to explain - not to mention not everyone has access …
Dropbox makes it easier to share everything by being able to provide a link and it doesn't expire. When using WeTransfer, the emails sometimes get lost in the shuffle of all other emails coming in and you only have a certain amount of time to access the link so if you don't …
I prefer iCloud for personal stuff, WeTransfer is convenient to receive files but I've never used it so send some. SharePoint and Google Drive are great if you're in one of the ecosystems but Dropbox is great if you're in several ecosystems because of the way it interacts with …
Dropbox gives more visual control over the success of uploading. WeTransfer uploads and then sends a link to the recipient. If something goes wrong during the upload, there doesn't appear to be a way to begin again from the dropping point. With Dropbox, I can watch as it …

Although Dropbox and Google Drive can be interchangeable, we find that Dropbox is more helpful for our Design Team because it has larger storage space and can sync to their desktop apps. This allows them to save their files faster and easier than downloading and reuploading the …
Dropbox is much more efficient and easy to use than other tools. It feels more professional and safer to send and view files, especially those with confidential information. This is the first company that I've worked for that uses a business form of Dropbox, and it's so much …
In my opinion, Dropbox is better designed, has better functionality and a better user experience than all of these others. It's more reliable than any of these and has the most advanced syncing and permissions control. It's been around long enough that it also seems just more …
I use Google Drive for most of my personal needs because it is free but I am constantly trying to delete old files to keep up with limited space. For work, where a more premium account is offered, Dropbox does an excellent job of maintaining storage. It is a trustworthy …
I did not necessarily choose Dropbox, however it does have much simpler integration with other programs like Slack which makes it my preferred file storage solution. It also boasts a native file transfer platform, which outperforms the other programs I have used. The Dropbox …
Security features of Dropbox are perceived as more reliable than the alternatives. It is also more cost effective offering more favourable discounts for non profits compared to others

I still use the other programs because they all have their features that are useful to our business. What I like about Dropbox is that we are able to have a team account, which makes file sharing easy, unlike Google Drive that makes file sharing so much more difficult. The …
Compared to Google Cloud Storage, the Dropbox app has proven to be more stable and dependable. In the meantime, Google has improved and is a great alternative. But now that we've decided to stick with Dropbox, we'll keep using it. In terms of ease of use, Dropbox appears to be …
Dropbox is a great low-cost, wholesale cloud DMS solution. That being said, its security features and search-ability are not as sophisticated as Datasite or Egnyte, which to be fair, are much more costly solutions. As compared to its peers in terms of cost, Dropbox is the …
I think that in terms of familiarity with the platform and interface, Dropbox is probably top of mind. However, I do like Google Docs the most, since you are able to edit in real-time, and it makes note of the version changes. Sharepoint has this capability as well, however, I …
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 …
Dropbox is a terrible and slow service, so WeTransfer is the far better option between the two. Google Drive isn't as professional as WeTransfer (in my opinion) so using WeTransfer might be the better option.
Both solutions work fairly seamlessly. But we prefer Dropbox because we can more easily track our files across devices and across the organization. They are equal when it comes to sending files, but receiving files is where some friction points/frustration points arise.
While Dropbox is more robust with storage and ways to share, it's often cumbersome to send files, especially with clients that don't use Dropbox. WeTransfer sends my clients a link that results in an immediate download - no fuss, no having to log in. The process is much easier, …
Dropbox is too complex and unreliable to use. I have had many headaches with files not downloading properly, going missing or not opening. I have to spend a lot of time to figure out what I need to do. And just as you think you have everything under control, you set up a nice …
We actually use both other platforms because we may be required to by our clients or vendors. I find We Transfer easier to use especially remotely - quicker to upload and send.
The listed alternative are also very good but we have specifically used WeTransfer for it's simple and straight to the point file hosting. All of the above services require registration and WeTransfer doesn't. We can just send our files quickly and call it a day. The files …
