WeTransfer is a versatile file transfer service that is widely used across organizations for various purposes. Users rely on WeTransfer to send large invoice files in AR, pitches, contracts, and technical reports. Its value becomes evident when users encounter attachment size limits in email clients like Outlook, as it eliminates the problem of not being able to send large files via email. Many users find WeTransfer easier to use than alternatives like Dropbox and Box, making it a preferred method for file transfers.

One key use case is within production teams where WeTransfer is used on a daily basis to send project files and drafts between team members and deliver files to clients. It offers the ability to send larger files than email and is more efficient than using a cloud service. Additionally, WeTransfer proves valuable for sharing files and assets with clients, vendors, and third parties, particularly when they need access outside the corporate shared drive or from remote offices. The free service provided by WeTransfer is particularly helpful, allowing users to send large files up to 2GB to multiple email addresses while providing options for password protection and download expiration/delete dates. Overall, WeTransfer provides a reliable and user-friendly solution for file transfers, especially in cases where email or other cloud storage platforms are not viable options.

Speed of File Transfer: Many users have consistently praised WeTransfer for its impressive speed when it comes to both uploading and downloading files. This quick and efficient performance allows users to seamlessly share large files without any delays or frustrations.

Document Tracking: The feature that enables users to track the status of their shared documents is highly valued by many reviewers. They appreciate being able to see if a document has been opened by the recipient, as well as how many times it has been accessed. This valuable insight helps users stay informed and ensures that important files are being viewed and utilized.

Password Protection: WeTransfer offers the convenient option of password protecting documents, which several users find extremely useful. By adding an extra layer of security, this feature gives users peace of mind knowing that their sensitive information is protected from unauthorized access.

Limited file size limit: Some users have reported that the file size limit of 2GB, unless a premium account is purchased, is too restrictive for their needs. They feel that the limit should be increased to accommodate larger files.

Automatic deletion of files: Users have mentioned that files are automatically deleted after 7 days, unless a premium account is used. This can be inconvenient for those who need to access their files for a longer period. It would be beneficial if there was an option to extend the storage duration or avoid automatic deletion.

Unreliable uploading with weak internet connection: Uploading large files may fail if the user does not have a strong internet connection. This has been frustrating for some customers who rely on WeTransfer for transferring important files. It would be helpful if there were better error handling and retry mechanisms in place to mitigate this issue.

Based on user reviews, here are the key recommendations for WeTransfer:

  1. Users highly recommend utilizing WeTransfer for efficient file sharing, particularly when time is a crucial factor.

  2. It is suggested to consider investing in WeTransfer, especially if one plans to use it for an extended period. The free version has file size limitations, so opting for the yearly rate or subscription is recommended to access more storage.

  3. WeTransfer is praised as a straightforward and user-friendly solution suitable for both technical and non-technical users. Individuals and small businesses can benefit from its capability to seamlessly transfer small videos, photos, or documents.

  4. Many users consider WeTransfer essential for sharing data with colleagues, friends, and family members.

  5. Some users enthusiastically recommend WeTransfer to everyone due to its outstanding features that allow for hassle-free large file transfers without external devices.

  6. For sending large graphic design files and images, users suggest taking advantage of WeTransfer's no sign-in feature.

  7. It is recommended to explore the paid version of WeTransfer for its simplicity and ability to cater to multiple users in a business environment.

  8. If frequent large file transfers are part of your routine, trying out WeTransfer is highly suggested.

  9. While WeTransfer may not offer every feature available in other file transferring software options, it stands out as the simplest and easiest to use.

  10. Users appreciate WeTransfer's intuitive interface, appealing design, and the added benefit of being free to use.

Overall, users' opinions about WeTransfer are positive, emphasizing its ease of use, convenience, and suitability for various file sharing needs.

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!

WeTransfer works well for sharing outside of a shared drive, and especially for large file sizes. We use WeTransfer for sharing files and assets with clients, vendors and 3rd parties. It's valuable for sharing outside our corporate shared drive, accessing from remote offices, and especially for download and sharing large files.

I'm transferring audio files to clients on a daily basis, and I need a way to do that quickly and efficiently. WeTransfer fits both those criteria - their emails are timely, they send me notifications when files have been downloaded at the client end, and the file size is great for even free users.

Dropbox vs. WeTransfer

WeTransfer is super great for users behind a firewall. But we prefer using Dropbox because we know where our files are at all times, across all devices. Otherwise, WeTransfer is very easy to use and I especially like that the loading screens are frequently different or beautiful or entertaining instead of bland.

WeTransfer works well for sharing outside of a shared drive, and especially for large file sizes. The biggest challenge is that there are other options for file sharing and our clients and vendors use many different ones - it would be great if we could adopt just one.

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.
