Overall Satisfaction with WeTransfer
WeTransfer is used across the whole organization for various purposes - in AR we use it to send large invoice files, in sales they use it to send pitches and contracts, and our IT department uses it to send various technical reports with large amounts of data. WeTransfer is extremely useful due to the attachment size limit in Outlook. Even if IT lifts the restriction for outgoing messages, there is no guarantee that the recipient will be able to receive a large file via email. WeTransfer eliminates this problem entirely.
- WeTransfer is very fast for uploading & downloading.
- WeTransfer allows you to see if the document was opened by the recipient & how many times.
- WeTransfer allows you to password protect documents.
- WeTransfer is extremely secure & safe to use.
- The file size limit is 2GB unless you get the premium account.
- Files are deleted after 7 days unless you have a premium account.
- Large file uploads may fail unless you have a very strong internet connection.
- WeTransfer has helped us keep our DSO down by being able to provide invoice copies to our customers immediately. Most of these files are too large for Outlook, so we either need to use a file transfer service or send via postal mail. WeTransfer is obviously the quicker & more efficient option.
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.

Evaluating WeTransfer and Competitors

WeTransfer offers exactly what we needed at a price that can't be beat.
I feel that we did an adequate amount of research & stand by our decision. Would not do anything different.
