Migrating to Google drive. Will never try WeTransfer again. > > Used to be good, now useless.... all they are interested in now is making money off the user. Wasted my time, has to stay on their page otherwise they stop the upload, then in any case stopped the upload at 98%. ----- ### "wetransf rev" — 4.0/5 > **alessandro** | *21 July 2026* | Commercial Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: possibility to share in b2c business big size files without overload email usefull for temporary store of files for internal use > > **Cons**: many applications are very similar and more common then wetransfer,so may clients and suppliers are forced to download it ----- ### "Long time user of WeTransfer here - and I LOVE it\!" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *12 August 2025* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been using WeTransfer for many years now to send large video files of coaching sessions with my clients and I LOVE it\! I also highly recommend it to my clients as well due to its ease of use. The best part? It's FREE\! > > **Cons**: Nothing. I love everything about WeTransfer. It is super reliable and is so easy for my clients to download the large files that I send them. > > WeTransfer has saved me so much time, energy and frustration. Before using this app I used that other one (rhymes with "Gropdox" lol) and the difference is just unbelievable. For fast files haring it is the best\! ----- ### "Support team doesn’t help at all" — 1.0/5 > **Tijs** | *29 April 2025* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked Wetransfer for a couple of years because of the easy way sending and receiving videos. But after a error, they let me down. > > **Cons**: The last weeks, i can’t send proper transfers anymore. I’ve tried everything but every time I send something, the file is corrupt. If I use a account of someone else and send the same files on the same computer, there is no problem at all. I’m in contact with the support team for more than two weeks now, but since five days, they don’t respond anymore and leave the problem as it is. I’m having a paid subscription so it’s really annoying i don’t get any help. > > The support team doesn’t help you when you’ve got a problem. As they can’t resolve a issue, they don’t reply on your mails anymore. ----- ### "One of the Simplest Ways to Send Large Files" — 5.0/5 > **Samuel** | *18 August 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The simplicity is what we like most. It makes sending large files extremely quick without having to create complicated shared folders or change cloud storage permissions. You upload the files, generate the transfer, and send the link. > > **Cons**: It is primarily designed for transferring files rather than managing them long term. Transfer expiration and some limitations on the free version can also be inconvenient when recipients do not download files quickly enough. > > Overall, WeTransfer has been a simple and reliable solution for sending large files to clients, partners, and team members. We mainly use it when email attachments are too large or when creating a permanent shared folder would be unnecessary. It does one specific job very well and requires almost no training or setup. ----- Page: 1 / 119\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/176600/wetransfer?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/176600/wetransfer) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
