Filestack vs. WeTransfer

The integration is airy and the performance is amazing. Initially, we used our photo file uploader and it worked, but as our needs grew the developmental effort to support new needs took a lifetime. As a development manager, this was a big red flag because uploading files had become a hindrance and time-consuming away from other purposes.

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!

As noted previously, sometimes it can take more than once to upload and share a file if you are using Chrome. It doesn't happen often but of course it always seems to when we are on a really tight deadline. It just takes patient in those cases

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.

Ease of integration [was] that we had developers who were familiar with implementing Filestack. It also decreased the dependency and load of our Developers since the implementation instructions are fairly straightforward. Filestack is excellent at what it does (asset management) and Cloudinary/Akamai is primarily used to serve content and decrease latency as CDNs.

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 work environment with organized folders, you realize your storage space is up anyway! Since I've discovered WeTransfer, I never went back to Dropbox.

• I haven't paid for this software personally, so I'm not sure, but $12/month is very reasonable if you are constantly sharing files.
• WeTransfer is fairly professional, so in my opinion, links sent to clients look more professional than using a link from Google Drive or Dropbox.
