July 29, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our production team uses WeTransfer (Pro membership) on a daily basis to send project files and drafts between our team and to deliver files to clients. It enables us to send much larger files than email and is more efficient than using a cloud service.

Pros

Transferring large files.
Auto expiring links after a set amount of time.
Allows branded backgrounds to keep branding cohesive.

Cons

Possibly a higher paid tier for even larger files.
More video integration for branding.
Better, more customizable "message" area.

Likelihood to Recommend

WeTransfer is great for sending files too large for email without having to hassle with Dropbox or another cloud service.

Review: WeTransfer

Rating: 8 out of 10

December 17, 2018

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I used WeTransfer frequently at my former place of employment, and I use it somewhat consistently with my business. WeTransfer is a good option for file transfer.

Pros

WeTransfer makes it pretty easy to upload files. You cannot create file/folder structures inside of it, but you can .zip files to send.
WeTransfer creates and provides share links, which can be dropped into emails for multiple users at once.
Paid version allows you to customize more parts of the software.

Cons

With the free version, you are limited to 2GB of file transferring. Likely if you are sending lots of files, you'll be upgrading to Plus instead.
Download links expire after a certain amount of time. It's important to download each link immediately and not forget where you left the downloaded files.

Likelihood to Recommend

WeTransfer is very helpful for file transfer and I recommend using it if you find yourself sending files frequently. Depending on the size of your business and how timely/often you send files, you might consider the Plus plan over free.

Send Files Quick and Easy with WeTransfer!

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

With my business VGSoundtrackGuy Music, I hire musicians to do help me with various projects. And most of the time, the files I send them are over 1GB. Enter WeTransfer! WeTransfer's free service allows you to send up to 2GB of files to up to 20 email addresses. They also allow you to set a password to the download for protection as well as a download expiration/delete date. This is great as using regular GMail or Yahoo mail isn't as secure.

Pros

Allowance for files up to 2GB. This is unique as I don't know of many free temporary file hosters that allow more than 1GB.
No registration. I can upload, add my recipient emails and send! No lengthy registration or wait for moderation account approval. Just upload and send!
It's $0.00! Free! There is a Paid version but the Free 2GB version is just fine for our needs!

Cons

We wish the Password and Expiration date features were NOT exclusive to the Paid version of WeTransfer.

Likelihood to Recommend

Yahoo, Gmail and etc. aren't so friendly with 1GB+ files. So WeTransfer is a life saver when I need to send big files quickly and for free!

WeTransfer Delivers!

Rating: 9 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

WeTransfer is used across the whole organization for various purposes - in AR we use it to send large invoice files, in sales they use it to send pitches and contracts, and our IT department uses it to send various technical reports with large amounts of data. WeTransfer is extremely useful due to the attachment size limit in Outlook. Even if IT lifts the restriction for outgoing messages, there is no guarantee that the recipient will be able to receive a large file via email. WeTransfer eliminates this problem entirely.

Pros

WeTransfer is very fast for uploading & downloading.
WeTransfer allows you to see if the document was opened by the recipient & how many times.
WeTransfer allows you to password protect documents.
WeTransfer is extremely secure & safe to use.

Cons

The file size limit is 2GB unless you get the premium account.
Files are deleted after 7 days unless you have a premium account.
Large file uploads may fail unless you have a very strong internet connection.

Likelihood to Recommend

I would definitely recommend WeTransfer - especially the paid version. I feel like all of the shortcomings with the free service (file size limit & content deletion after 7 days) are all fixed when you upgrade your account, and the service is not very expensive. It only costs $12/monthly or $120/annually. WeTransfer makes it so easy to send files, and the additional features such as creating a link to your content & password protection are great. Very straightforward & easy to use.
