"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?

The security is top notch. You can share files to another person without waiting for even a bit. Its free version does not require any signing up or registration. Just login to the website and upload files. The entire process is not even 2 minutes long. There is even the Mac, iOS and Android application which is quite easy and simple to use. Also, a major point! There are no ads while using even the free version Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

I think the Upgraded version (We Transfer Plus) is a bit expensive priced at $12 / month. This can be a bit of a major cost for a small company. Also, the uploading of large files require a strong connection or else it will fail and you will have to start all over again Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WeTransfer:

Who wouldn't want to share their large data files with other colleagues / friends / family. Makes sharing and collaboration so easy that you have to use this software. Never seen any other software like this Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

While at work, I use different type of operating systems including iOS, Windows and Linux and the best reason of using this software is that I can use it freely in any operating software. While travelling, I can use it, view files, download files, send large attachments through my mobile phone only saving me a lot of time and effort. Along with this, as my email is used, I can even keep a record of all files sent in my "sent items" box Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WeTransfer?

WeTransfer allows me to send large files across the internet with incredible ease, for free! One of my favorite aspects of WeTransfer is that no login or accounts are required for basic usage. However, it should be noted that there is a paid version of WeTransfer that does require a login in order to access premium features. The free version limit of 2GB is more than enough for most average needs though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

There are no notable complaints that I have about WeTransfer. Any feature limitations, such as the transfer size limit, are generally solved by using their premium service. One drawback that free users should be aware of is that the download link generated for your files is only valid for one week. After which, the link will expire and your files will be deleted from their download server. This has never been a problem for me (if your link does expire you can always just resend to your recipient), but for those looking for a storage solution this is again solved by upgrading to their professional service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WeTransfer:

While WeTransfer may not offer every bell and whistle that is available for file transferring software it is by far the simplest and easiest to use. Plenty of options already exist for web-based file storage and management--WeTransfer fulfills an important niche by exclusively focusing on file sharing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

For professionals working with other professionals there are many FTP and cloud storage services available to store and transfer files, but where WeTransfer really shines is when working with individuals and smaller organizations. A client can easily send me a huge batch of photos for their project without any hassle. Of course, Google Drive and Dropbox also offer free and low cost solutions for sharing large files, but the need to setup new accounts and organize folders and sharing permissions can be avoided altogether by simply using WeTransfer.

What do you like best about WeTransfer?

WeTransfer doesn't require an account to use so deliverables can be sent to anyone with an email address. Can send files up to 2GB in size for free, much larger than most emails allow. It doesn't upload to a personal cloud of yours (like google drive or dropbox) and take up space. It remains downloadable for a week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

Cannot make a free account even for low usage. It would be nice to be able to have an account and see the history of sent and received files (and if/when they were downloaded), even if it remained a 2GB cap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WeTransfer:

As with any file transfer system, having a decent upload speed is recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Delivering videos to clients without having to meet in person or take up storage space on other services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WeTransfer?

The edge to edge beautiful images and artwork displayed in the background along with the minimalistic layout of buttons make it a pleasant experience for both me and my clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

The upload limit is disappointing for the free account, but I understand why they have it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Visually speaking, WeTranfer is simply more of a pleasant experience in comparison to their competition. I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard people tell me they’ve never heard of this way of transferring files before, but now that I’ve introduced it to them, they use it all the time for their own purposes.

What do you like best about WeTransfer?

What’s great is that in a pinch, you are able to send over any files that you may have to send to a client, or receive it from a client. Download the files without it taking up space in the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

You can only transfer up to 2GB for free, then you would need to pay to transfer more than that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Gives me the ability to send and receive large files in a pinch if I am working on a project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WeTransfer?

The fact that it can easily pass along larger files is very helpful for a deadline-packed world we work in. Those hard to handle videos and graphics are now a cinch, allowing today's media and marketing agencies a better way to collaborate with editing and quality control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

To get the best use out of this product at the end of the day, you really do need the paid version. But we have that, so I'm not complaining too much about it. That said, a warning to startups lacking scope for such things: if you don't have it, can't afford it or don't tend to work with large scale files that often, you're likely to be better off just emailing smaller files to people, as simple email attachments will accommodate that size and scope just as efficiently. Ergo, WeTransfer free version would be useless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WeTransfer:

I can't recommend the paid version enough. Dead simple to use, you can have multiple people in your business using it at the same time, and makes it miles better for collaborative purposes with you graphic design teams and account managers (as one example). Should you handle video transferrance in your daily work, you'd benefit from software like WeTransfer greatly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Transferrance of larger files (PDFs, videos, Folders) to both clients and customers. It saves us the time of going through the email process, only to discover we can't send the email the recipient effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WeTransfer?

We Transfer is an excellent option when it comes to sending data. You can transfer data in no time with this excellent tool in any format, in addition to enjoying an excellent multicolored interface that makes your experience even more fun. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

The only bad thing I find about this tool is the time in which your files expire for downloading. There are opportunities where you don't have enough time to download the files you receive, so we recommend downloading your files once you know you have received them via mail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WeTransfer:

We Transfer is the best option for transferring data via email in a fast, simple, and very, very cheap way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

At Sijao Parks, C.A. we are dedicated to the creation of video clips and their subsequent sale; buyers generally prefer to store these files on their trusted devices, which could cause the transmission of viruses from these devices to ours. With WeTransfer, we avoid any contact between our devices and those of potential clients, sending them their files via WeTransfer to their emails quickly and easily.

What do you like best about WeTransfer?

When using WeTransfer, you don't even have to log in to send a file. It makes it so much easier especially when sending larger files to people who may not know how to use dropbox or how to log in or anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

The home page is a little tricky to navigate but once you figure out how to download the file it works fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

People sometimes don't want to deal with DropBox because you have to log in and stuff to use it, so it's easier without that step. We send press releases, photos, and videos to clients on a regular basis and sometimes WeTransfer is just easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about WeTransfer?

I can add multiple files to send to my recipient. All I have to do is add my email, the recipient's email and then attach my files. 3 simple steps and click send. Yes, Its THAT simple. The upgraded version is even cheap to use in my opinion. The free version allows 2 GB of files that can be sent. WeTransfer Plus allows to send up to 20 GB. That too at an easy cost of $12 / month which I think is quite reasonable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WeTransfer?

I have ha a few problems of using WeTransfer in my phone. It has crashed a lot of times and it gets annoying later on Other than this, no issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering WeTransfer:

If anyone sends large files to their colleagues or friends, this is the software to all your needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Thank GOD for this software. Previously it was very difficult to share large files to my colleagues. Being a Tech company, we are not allowed to bring in external storage devices and in order to send files to my colleague sitting floors under me, I had to send him via a GDrive link and then call/ask him personally to see if he received it or not. Now, I can just WeTransfer whatever files I have and then when the recipient opens the file, I get an email informing me that the email has been opened and the file downloaded. Safety, security and privacy of the document is protected. Love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
