This is superior to what other free file hosts allow, as I don't know much about hosts that allow storage up to 1GB. No registration. My recipients can upload their own email addresses, add themselves manually, and send me the finished file. No registration or lengthy wait for approval is required; they simply upload and send. WeTransfer enables you to check whether the file has been opened and whether the recipient has read it. > > **Cons**: Large uploads may fail unless your network is unusually strong (e.g., you have to pay for a premium account). The Password and Expiration date features of WeTransfer are not exclusive to the Paid version of the app. Chrome can be a bit quirky during the uploading process - at times, the process may take more than one attempt. > > WeTransfer performs well for me when used for uploading to an external server. It supports collaboration and large file uploads and sharing between our own servers and those of others. We're particularly fond of WeTransfer for generating assets for partners, vendors and clients. ----- ### "The most simple and straight-forward file transfer service" — 5.0/5 > **Angelo** | *April 23, 2020* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Seriously, it is a really simple and intuitive service. Just a few buttons focusing on what it's supposed to offer, and it delivers flawlessly. Even the ads they came up with an elegant solution that I've just realized until recently it were ads\! Despite covering the whole screen, they use beautiful and artistic pictures and videos. Beyond that, there's no need to sign up, or leave any personal information, you just drop your files, hit "Transfer" and that's it. Of course, being able to do that have its limitations, like the 2GB file limit (which for the most people is not a real limitation) and some other specific features. > > **Cons**: The only negative aspect I had to talk about was the file limit per day, but they have removed that\! Now you can transfer limitlessly (you still have that 2GB file limit though). > > I use WeTranfer on my day-to-day basis, and being a game developer I handle with lots of assets, builds, and large archives. WeTransfer has never failed me. It greatly improved my workflow being so intuitive and simple, sharing files with clients with a few clicks has never been so easy. ----- ### "Unethical and a scam" — 1.0/5 > **John** | *June 3, 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: You can send large files. Not much else good to say about it. Go with Dropbox or someone else. Horrible experience > > **Cons**: Unethical and unclear signup interface. Tricks you into signing up for a year without you realizing it, then they won't refund your money. > > Horrible and unhelpful. Unethical and a scam. All they care about is taking your money. They are overpriced. ----- ### "WeTransfer Makes File Sharing THAT Much Easier and Secure\!" — 5.0/5 > **Christina** | *July 29, 2022* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: One thing I love about transfering files through WeTransfer is its incredible simplicity and ease of use. It is fast, simple, and secure. It's also free if you only plan to send files up to 2GB\! Their Pro and Premium options allow you to send files of any size, which is a great perk if needed. You want to share a file with a colleague but it is too big for your email? No problem. Just open up https://wetransfer.com/ and upload your file, add your email and the email of your colleague and hit send\! There is also the added feature that you can include a note of substantial length along with your file. After you have sent your file, WeTransfer immediately sends you an email letting you know that your file was sent successfully. Your colleague also receives an email from WeTransfer immediately letting them know you sent them a file. You are then notified when your colleague downloads your file, which is quite useful. > > **Cons**: I love that I can use WeTransfer to send up to 2GB for free, however $10-$19 monthly is a bit steep to enable sending larger files. > > My experience with WeTransfer is very positive, both in the workplace and at home. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking to quickly, securely, and efficiently transfer files to check out WeTransfer. ----- ### "Best software i have use for transferring files and document" — 4.0/5 > **Nabila** | *May 12, 2021* | Investment Management Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: WeTranfer is the simplest application than has help me transferring files, document or media like video and picture to other people. I do not need to create any account with them to start using this service, neither the recipient. They can start downloading the files that i has sent from the link i gave as soon as they get it. > > **Cons**: The only cons that i dislike with this application is, the files that i am uploading has its expired date and only will be keep on the server no more than 7 days. If the downloading or uploading process is interrupted, there are no resume option and i need to start everything from the start which is very inconvenience. > > I really like that it is free to use this software and all the feature that are offered by this application is not shabby at all. They provide a premium feature and tolls with no cost at all. As a result, sending and receiving files and documents from my team mates is never a problem anymore. ----- Page: 1 / 119\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/91653/wetransfer?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/91653/wetransfer) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
