WeTransfer
Send large files by email or link without recipient sign-up
What is WeTransfer?
WeTransfer is a file transfer service for sending large files by email or download link. Recipients can download without creating an account, and senders can add passwords, set expiry dates and track downloads. It is built for delivering files rather than syncing folders, with a free plan for non-commercial use and paid plans that lift the monthly transfer limits.
WeTransfer has a free plan. Paid plans start at $8 per month, billed monthly. See every plan
Good for
- Sending large files to clients who should not need an account
- Freelancers and studios that want branded delivery pages
- Occasional personal transfers within the free monthly allowance
Worth knowing
- The Free plan is for non-commercial use only and is capped at 3 GB and 10 transfers a month.
- Starter is limited to 300 GB of transfers a month; removing the size limit needs Ultimate at $23 a month.
- An account stores up to 2 TB of transfers by default on any plan, and WeTransfer says it does not offer unlimited storage.
- Teams needs at least 2 users, and single sign-on and end-to-end encryption are listed only for Enterprise.
Key features
- Transfers by email or link
- Files are sent to recipients by email or shared as a download link. Anyone can download them without logging in or signing up.
- Passwords and expiry dates
- A transfer can be protected with a password and given an expiry date. Free transfers expire after up to 3 days; Ultimate allows unlimited expiry.
- File requests
- A request link lets other people upload files to the account holder, who can then track and manage what has been received.
- Download tracking
- Senders can see download counts and status for each transfer and manage, forward or delete sent transfers from the account's Transfers panel.
- Branding and personal page
- Ultimate adds custom branding per transfer, and an account can have its own WeTransfer page with a custom URL, wallpapers and social links.
- Mac and mobile apps
- The Mac app sends files from the menu bar or by right-clicking in Finder. iOS and Android apps send, receive and manage transfers from a phone.
