Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use WeTransfer in order to share materials between employees inside the company or to share them with clients and other companies. It helps us share big files that we can not attach via email on occasions where we can not upload them to Google Drive. It's extremely easy to use!

Pros

  • Not asking you to have an account to upload things.
  • Not asking you to have an account to download things.
  • Being free for not so big files.

Cons

  • It "broke" a few times lately.
  • The deadline to download files sometimes is not long enough (even though it's days!!).
  • It'd be great if it was free for bigger files too.

Return on Investment

  • Accelerates the process of sharing documents.
  • Saves time not having to create new users.
  • It's been difficult to share some files when it went down for almost a whole day.
