"Intuitive, Time-Saving File Transfer with Minor App Confusion"
What do you like best about WeTransfer?

I use WeTransfer for both personal and client photo transfers, and I find it simpler than other similar services. The shareable link has made it very easy to share and access, saving me a lot of time. I absolutely love how user-friendly it is! I don't have to worry about people struggling to download files on their end at all, even if it is their first time using the program. I also love that, despite being simple and clear, they provide enough options that I have never had to go hunting for alternatives. We really like how WeTransfer fast-tracks sending large files, and the options available to clients were happily received. Plus, the visually pleasing layout makes it feel like a fun little trip and not work. The initial setup was easy breezy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

I think the prompt to download the app confuses people? Lately clients have been downloading their app, I use the website, and there they struggle with downloads. I'm not sure why but the moment they follow the link to a browser instead they manage just fine without needing help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very easy in use, can transfer large size files securely online.

also the the url which is shared with the end user is time bounded, means we have control on the data which we are sharing to other.

"Effortless Large File Transfers, Exceptionally Smooth Experience"
What do you like best about WeTransfer?

Transferring large files is simple and smooth, with no lag or complications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

When I tried to retrieve an expired file, the system did not display the original link but instead generated a new one. I once needed to prove that I had transferred a file, and although I had a premium membership while my colleagues did not, the link I retrieved and shared was completely different from the original. This made it impossible for me to demonstrate that I had actually transferred the file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Decent Free Option"
What do you like best about WeTransfer?

Their Free option is decent. However could offer more cloud storage space Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

Pricing is a little high for the storage space being offered. So Far lucid Link would be my number one choice for paid cloud starage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless File Transfers with Unmatched Simplicity"
What do you like best about WeTransfer?

This has to be one of the easiest sites to use for file transfers. For both the sender and receiver, it's as simple as a couple clicks, whereas competitors require so many steps on the frontend to get your files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

For the free version, the short lifespan of a link can be frustrating if the receiver doesn't download their files in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Gone are the days of WeTransfer"
What do you like best about WeTransfer?

The interface is easy to use, and the experience is relatively seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sharing large files doesn’t have to be complicated—at least not with WeTransfer"
What do you like best about WeTransfer?

In my work with academic documents and audiovisual materials that can’t be compressed, what I appreciate most is how WeTransfer preserves the original quality every time. I also love that it lets me track who’s downloaded what and when, plus the option to password-protect files for extra security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

That said I wish some of the best features—like advanced tools—weren’t locked behind a premium subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
