"The easiest way to transfer files online!"

4/5

What do you like best about WeTransfer?

WeTransfer is truly a great tool that lets you transfer heavy files with utmost ease. The process is simple, smooth, and secure. It takes safety and security a notch ahead by giving the option to password protect your files. It's compatibility with Android, iOS and Mac apps just make it even more useful. The app is very user-friendly and my favourite feature of the tool is that it automatically removes the file after one week, so the sender isn't under the obligation of keeping the files uploaded and wasting storage, unlike Google drive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

I love using the free version and my use-case doesn't require the need for an advanced version. But if I ever have to upgrade to the plus version, I'll have to give a lot of thought to it since it's a bit pricey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WeTransfer solving and how is that benefiting you?

The tool comes with a great user interface and is extremely simple to use. It makes file transferring a painless task and it supports multiple file formats so one doesn't have to worry about what files to transfer and what not using WeTransfer. As a freelance photographer, WeTransfer makes my job really easy by allowing me the option of hassle-free and fast file uploading and transferring. The fact that it removes the files within one week really works in my favor, unlike google drive, where I have to wait for my clients to download the files first and keep checking with them in order to clear my storage space.

"Transfer high storage files"

5/5

What do you like best about WeTransfer?

We-transfer is the only software I have seen in which we can send/transfer high storage files to any place in the world using Gmail free of cost. The file quality will be the same as what we are sending to the receiver. Up to 1.2 GB, we can send files for free. Easy to access. Faster when we have a good internet connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

By transferring the file, it will go through the link option only it will get expired in one week need to extend some days if possible. Not having more dislike for Wetransfer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"No reason you shouldn't be using WeTransfer"

5/5

What do you like best about WeTransfer?

The number one thing you'll notice when using WeTransfer is its effortless, stripped-down design. The website offers you essentially one action: upload a file to get started. From there, you're able to select whether you want WeTransfer to send the file on your behalf or if you'd prefer a minified link to send to the intended recipient. There are other options, too, such as signing in or signing up for the paid service, but essentially WeTransfer gets to the nitty-gritty of why you're there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

Sometimes, when arriving to the site, it forces a log-in. Or at least the website shows a landing page that makes it seem like you have to log in to continue. This doesn't always happen, so I'm unsure what triggers this screen.

Also, the upload times can take a while. Even plugged into the ethernet with a high upload speed, the browser-based application can take a while to upload the file. I'm assuming this is throttled through the browser, but if it is on their end, perhaps they should consider increasing their upload rates.

Finally, some may scoff at the 2GB upload limit in the free version. I think the limit is acceptable, as most transferred files aren't this large. If you're trying to move more data than that, then there might be a better solution out there for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WeTransfer:

There absolutely is no harm in trying it out. It is a free program and doesn't even require an account to send files. Naturally signing up for an account offers some additional features (seeing who has downloaded your file, a central place to find any incoming transfers, etc.), but it is not necessary at all. Similarly, the paid account offers increased transfer sizes (up to 20 GB!) as well as storage, password protection, and other SaaS memberships for Paste and Collect.

If you're annoyed by having to constantly change sharing and sending permissions in SharePoint or OneDrive, can't keep track of all your DropBox accounts, or tired of having your emails bounced due to filetypes or sizes, give WeTransfer a try and see if you prefer the stripped-down, easy-to-use program better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WeTransfer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Right now, there's a myriad of ways to send files; email, messaging, Dropbox, Pastebin, Slack, Adobe, Cloud folders, etc. Because so many people use so many different systems, I've found that it's easier to just use WeTransfer to the file into peoples' hands as quickly and as painfully as possible. There's no need for the receiver to create an account, or be granted access, or upgrade permissions, or change your sharing rules or any other of the annoyances that make file transfers a pain. WeTransfer makes it easy for the recipient to download the file quickly and easily.

Also, WeTransfer doesn't really care what you upload to it; documents, pictures, (short) videos, entire folders of mixed documents, etc. I haven't tried sending programs through the service, but I've been able to send clients and contractors everything from event flyers and marketing images to entire folders filled with video clips, photos, Word documents, and PDFs.

"Best for sending and sharing large files"

5/5

What do you like best about WeTransfer?

"Success large scale WeTransfer"

5/5

What do you like best about WeTransfer?

For using WeTransfer, we do not need an account to be able to use it, not even the person who receives our files. You can share any file or document up to 2GB in the Free version, it is very simple and easy to use, it is very satisfying because it fulfills its purposes in just seconds. We can also create a personal account if we want. It is used both in personal and work environments.

Since it is cloud-based, it allows us to share any type of file or document in a fast, easy, effective, and above all secure way with many people, making it a much better option than those we knew until some time ago. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

Although they only have a few disadvantages, these are:

It only allows file transfers with only 20 recipients per information send, to send files or documents over 2GB we have to pay for the pro version, on the web some people say they don't have good security which is not confirmed, after 3 days your files will no longer be available for download and we don't know what happens to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WeTransfer:

There is not much to indicate, simply use it because its interface is very simple and adapts to daily needs. All we need to make use of its very good features is to have a good connection to the WEB, and in this way, we can access the site, upload the content, files, or documents we want to share with others, and ensure they receive them, and that's it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WeTransfer solving and how is that benefiting you?

The sending of information is very important, which is why this tool fulfills what it promises, which is to guarantee us the sending of files that are too large to go through other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple and Easy File Transfer"

5/5

What do you like best about WeTransfer?

Sharing large files outside my organization. If you need to send video files, this is the way to do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

I'd like to be able to transfer more than 20gb at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WeTransfer:

WeTransfer has a small fee that is more than worth it. For what I need, there are not many other products that check the boxes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WeTransfer solving and how is that benefiting you?

I needed to share large files outside of my organization. Our IT team had limited us to sharing large files through OneDrive. WeTransfer allows me to share video files easily via a link or directly to the email of the end user. It is so much faster and has a much better UI than any other product I've used. The end user does not have to create and account and mess around with that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"New favorite way to transfer files"

5/5

What do you like best about WeTransfer?

I really appreciate that WeTransfer is a clean, easy way to transfer large files without it taking up storage on your own drive. It has gotten much more efficient and user-friendly over the years (I used to not like using this product) and now find myself going for it even with other, pricier options that I have available to me. I rarely use the function for it to send to an email directly after upload but instead use the option to receive a link. This makes it so easy to share and upload. I also enjoy that now, people who receive links from me can preview what is on the link - such as photos, so that they can view without going to a computer or making the file size commitment prior to downloading. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

I wish that the links could be downloadable indefinitely, but I understand how that isn't sustainable for this type of product model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WeTransfer solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to pass along the same files to multiple people without having to upload multiple times. WeTransfer can handle large files without issue unlike other products. I used to use Dropbox for this but working from home with unstable internet means that it's easier for me to see the % upload progress in real time rather than syncing via the app which can lag.

"SendInJiff : WeTransfer"

4.5/5

What do you like best about WeTransfer?

When it comes to sending files to someone, Speed and Security are the most important factors. WeTransfer has fulfilled that requirement along with cool background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

I have been using WeTransfer since 2017 and I am glad that I have not found anything much to dislike. So far so good! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WeTransfer:

Try to put the files into a folder and compress it, so that would reduce it's size and would also make the transfer fast. Enjoy!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is WeTransfer solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is so easy with WeTransfer to exchange files with multiple users at a time. It is very often used when keeping the file on the cloud is not necessary. Just a one-time thing! That is why basic version (free) is enough and it was never required to create an account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
