## Reviews

### "Dumping down of Wetransfer" — 1.0/5

> **Nico** | *07 May 2025* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Used to like it...no longer of any use due to new greedy changes.
> 
> **Cons**: Trying to force users to pay, upload files to 98% and then drop the upload.&#10;Migrating to Google drive.&#10;Will never try WeTransfer again.
> 
> Used to be good, now useless.... all they are interested in now is making money off the user.&#10;Wasted my time, has to stay on their page otherwise they stop the upload, then in any case stopped the upload at 98%.

### "Great tool for sharing larges files\!" — 5.0/5

> **Hannah** | *11 January 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It was a very straightforward way to send people files of large size, too large for regular email. I also appreciated that it was not necessary to have an account, and that you could just send things without having to put yourself in a database.
> 
> **Cons**: Well, I dislike that it stopped existing\! I also wish sometimes that the upload speed was faster but who knows if that's my fault or not.

### "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\!

### "Seamless experience sending and receiving large files" — 5.0/5

> **Oliver** | *08 July 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Really easy to use for someone who was previously unfamiliar of WeTransfer. I had no issues sending and receiving large files.
> 
> **Cons**: Could argue it would be unfair to have to pay for a subscription upgrade to recover a previously transferred file.
> 
> Delighted with my experience using WeTransfer. Sending and receiving large files at speed enabled a solution that would otherwise be a tricky to overcome on other platforms.

### "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. &#10;&#10;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.
