"Easy to use - visually appealing interface."
The upside is that anyone I send files to can use with ease. Unlike some other file-sharing platforms, the learning curve is negligible.

What do you like best about WeTransfer?

I am from another country and now living in the US. I recorded a song here in the US but wanted it mixed by my maudii engineer in Jamaica. We first tried to send the files via email but the format was way too bulky to upload quickly. Then my audio engineer said he remembered checking out an app called WeTransfer. He suggested we both download and use the app. So we did and we have been using the app since to transfer music files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

The only problem I have with WeTransfer right now is the gloominess of their ads. They can get a little too weird. Lighten them up please! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I solved music file transfer problem. I wasn't forced to change the format of my file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WeTransfer?

I enjoyed the easy to use format, along with the quick uploads and clean interface Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

The only thing I disliked was it often copied the same pictures which took up more storage than needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WeTransfer:

Make sure if using your mobile phone that you have enough storage to download photos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Large photo sharing between coworkers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WeTransfer?

I like how easy it is to use WeTransfer. I can sign up and start transferring files within minutes. The user interface is very simple and straightforward. There is big text with clear instructions on the website. We can upload large files that we normally wouldn't be able to do through email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

I don't like that there aren't more extensive sharing options or ways to collaborate on documents and store them online in a folder. I also don't like that the shared file links expire in a relatively short amount of time. Even if I downloaded the files already, it'd be nice to be able to access the files again online from the same place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WeTransfer:

I'd recommend WeTransfer to those that want a simple and easy file transferring solution. There are many other online file sharing services out there with more options, but WeTransfer is one of the easiest to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I've used WeTransfer to easily share large files with clients and colleagues. There are times when these files are too large to attach to emails, so WeTransfer allows me to bypass that restriction. It has also made it easier to share the files with multiple people. Those people can then share the files with others, if needed. It has really simplified the large file sharing process.

What do you like best about WeTransfer?

I love being able to share files at anytime/anywhere with my coworkers and clients. It is a good price and a nice amount of storage. Plus I can send family members photos very easily without signing in, because the free service is very convenient as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

I love sharing files, but why does there always need to be a limit? I need like a good terabyte or 2 of space for film work and sharing it with coworkers, clients, etc. and having to constantly export files at sightly lesser qualities or just meeting in person can be inconvenient for everyone involved--especially if you are located in a different city, state, or country! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WeTransfer:

I say investing is worth it. The free version only lets you upload up to 2 gb, while the subscription gets you 200gb. Though email reminders are nice, if you have a subscription, your download link will never expire, (which may be good or bad depending on the person you are sending to), but you will know when they open it. I love sharing sites, it is a big time saver, better than having to meet in person and wait for a USB transfer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I can upload a file to send to a client or coworker and since both of us are sent a link, I know for certain they received what they needed once it has sent--there is no way they didn't if I did. Plus they will get a follow up email reminding them if they did not open or download the file, and I will as well, so I can remind them, nudging them to download what I sent.

What do you like best about WeTransfer?

I like WeTransfer's simplicity and its ability to notify me when a recipient downloads a file. Whenever I need to send a file or group of files that is too large for an email attachment, WeTransfer lets me do it in about the same amount of time it would take me to send an email. I don't have to sign up with a bunch of information and navigate through many screens. Though upload times depend on your internet connection speed, WeTransfer does a good job at maximizing the upload speed. The download process is very easy for the recipient. They just click a link in an email sent to them from WeTransfer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

Though I like the simplicity of WeTransfer, I dislike that there aren't more advanced collaboration tools available. Even with the upgraded plans, WeTransfer doesn't allow us to do much more than share files. I would like to be able to access stored files with the capability of editing them others that I share the files with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WeTransfer:

If you don't have large individual files to share, but have lots of small files that you want to keep together and share with someone, you can place them all in a zipped folder and share them as one file with WeTransfer. This has really helped us to stay organized and makes your files easier to share with multiple parties. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

WeTransfer enables me to quickly send large business files to a wide variety of recipients. Both I and the recipients don't need to download any special software to use WeTransfer. The sending and receiving processes typically only take a few minutes using straightforward steps. Almost everyone we work with can use it. We don't have to concern ourselves as much with storage devices that are physically delivered to someone for file transfers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WeTransfer?

I really appreciate how simple and straightforward it is to use WeTransfer. Though I'm relatively capable of using most file transfer software, being able to have someone else use the software is very important when I need them to send me files that are too large for email. Instructing others to use WeTransfer is very easy and only requires a few steps. We just need to enter a few pieces of information to send a file. I also like that the user interface is somewhat modern and fun, yet still professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

WeTransfer isn't very good for file collaborations and online file management. It would be great if WeTransfer had the option of storing files online for later access and editing. Also, there are times when I or my recipients are unable to download WeTransfer files right away and the download link would expire, which means the files would have to be sent again. That can be annoying at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WeTransfer:

I think WeTransfer works great for simple file sharing needs. If you only need to occasionally send large files to certain people, then WeTransfer is a great option. This is especially true when dealing with new people or people with low technology knowledge. For more frequent file sharing, you might be better off using a file collaboration platform that allows you constant access to files that and be organized and edited within shared online folders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

WeTransfer has mainly been a great option for others to send me large files or to send files to people who really need a simple and quick way to download files. The pricing for WeTransfer is very good and can easily fit within our operating budget. Not only is sending large files important for our regular business operations, but sending large groups of files is also important. We've been able to use WeTransfer to send zipped folders with multiple files, which allows the recipient to have all our resources neatly organized in one place.

What do you like best about WeTransfer?

WeTransfer lets you share files as soon as you load their website. You don't need to sign up or log into an account. You just enter a your email address and the recipient's email address and you're good to go. The upgraded plans, which allow you to send more files, is also very streamlined and not expensive by most company standards. Downloading files is very simple for the recipient. They just click a link in an email from WeTransfer and go right to the download page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

I think I don't always want the sender to know if and when I download a file, so for privacy reasons, it would be nice if WeTransfer provided a check box or something to opt out of notifying the sender of my download. It's really not a big deal, but it's usually good to have options like that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WeTransfer:

Even if you have smaller files that you can send through email, I'd suggest adding them together with files you send through WeTransfer. I think it makes it easier for the recipient to keep track of what you sent them. It cuts down on the steps needed to download and organize all your files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

WeTransfer allows me to send large files quickly to anyone with an email address. They give our company an affordable option for sharing files and minimize our need to transfer large files through physical media like hard drives and SD cards. WeTransfer makes logistics more streamlined and saves everyone a ton of time. We also don't need to spend much time training people how to transfer files, because WeTransfer is very straightforward with clear instructions that almost anyone can follow.

What do you like best about WeTransfer?

WeTransfer is a no fuss file sharing service that allows us to share files within minutes. The design of their website is very basic (in a good way) and doesn't require much information from the user to get started. The sharing process only takes a few clicks. Downloading your shared files is easily done by the receiver by just clicking a link in an email. I like that the sender is notified when the receiver downloads the file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

I think the pricing for the premium plans is a bit high. I feel like they should be able to offer more space for those prices. It would also be nice to have more organizational and collaboration features in the WT account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WeTransfer:

If you're looking for a simple sharing service, then I think WT is great. It's a company that's been around a while and is reliable with great reviews from users, including myself. However, you might want to consider a different service is you're looking for more collaboration and online editing features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

WT has allowed me to send files quickly and easily. I can bypass email attachment restrictions and create a link that is easily sharable with people. The download notification has also been great for accountability reasons. I can know that a person has downloaded a file and not wonder if they received it or not. If not, I can follow up to help resolve any problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is free for up to 2 gig. If you have more to send it will cost more, but is still reasonable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Have a restriction so sometimes you have to do it multiple times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WeTransfer:

Easy to use for you and your less technical clients. It makes getting a sending large files easy. Sometimes client do not know how to use dropbox or Google drive, so giving them this website will make it very easy for all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

When clients need to send me files I can give them this website and they can easily send them to me. It makes a dropbox, mail or email problems go away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
