Impossible Cloud Object Storage vs. WeTransfer

I would recommend Impossible Cloud to anyone looking for an affordable, easy-to-scale cloud backup solution. For us, it was super important that our data is stored in a GDPR-compliant setup, where we know where it is. Having different data centers in Europe keeps the latency low. So if anything happens, we can get our data back quickly. Finally, the support was super fast and helpful.

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!

• Easy setup.
• Fast support time.
• European sovereign GDPR compliant solution.

• 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.
• It tells you when your files have been successfully sent and when the other person downloaded it.

• UX could be a bit smoother.

• 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.

It's super fast to set up. Add your bucket, and you're basically good to go and can run your backup. Also, it connects to the common backup tools (in our case, Veeam), so we didn't have to change anything in our setup except the place where our data is actually stored.

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.

In the end, the most important thing for us was full control over our data and a European solution. With it (luckily for us) came a cheaper price tag and better speed. Finally, you are not a ticket in a support center, but a valued customer. We could really feel that in the way the Impossible Cloud support team helped us when we ran into an issue.

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.

• We are saving money - cheap storage and no fees.
• We can run our backup tests and don't have to worry about fees.

• 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.
