Considered Both Products	WeTransfer James Bishop Nonprofit Marketing Consultant Chose WeTransfer Google Drive is a more traditional cloud storage and sharing tool, but it can become ridiculously expensive and cumbersome to operate without support or training. Incentivized Helpful? Sara Rudman Full-Stack Digital Marketer & Accessibility Expert Chose WeTransfer I prefer WeTransfer as it automatically deletes the shared files after X number of days. It forces the recipient to save the file rather than rely on you to keep it stored in the cloud (e.g. Google Drive) for his for years to come. It essentially transfers the responsibility … Incentivized Helpful? PC Patricia Calleja Creative Copywriter Chose WeTransfer 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Doug Harrison Director of Client Services Chose WeTransfer WeTransfer doesn't require storage. You just send the files and you're done! Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose WeTransfer 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Rob Gokee Podcast Producer & Audio Mixer Chose WeTransfer 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, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose WeTransfer 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. Incentivized Helpful? Michael Anderson Audio Engineer/ Editor Chose WeTransfer WeTransfer is much faster and cuts out a lot of the extra steps of the other services we've used. It can automatically email the recipient when the file upload is done, cutting out a step. Incentivized Helpful? Ann M. Frank Digital Asset Management and Art Buyer Chose WeTransfer 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. Incentivized Helpful? Chris Hecox Business Owner Chose WeTransfer 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. Incentivized Helpful? Daryl Wise Jr. Founder/Owner Chose WeTransfer 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Aubrey Dixon Finance Administrator Chose WeTransfer 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 … Incentivized Helpful?	Yandex Disk No answer on this topic

User Testimonials
	WeTransfer	Yandex Disk
Likelihood to Recommend	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. Incentivized Aubrey Miles Finance Administrator Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	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 Chris Hecox Business Owner Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	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.

Usability	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.

Performance	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. Incentivized Michael Anderson Audio Engineer/ Editor Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	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. Incentivized Rob Gokee Podcast Producer & Audio Mixer Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	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. Incentivized PC Patricia Calleja Creative Copywriter Read full review	No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	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.
