Overview
WeTransfer sends files through the browser. You drop files or folders into the page, add recipient addresses, your own email, a title and a message, then send; the form shows a 3-day setting and a limit of 3 recipients, with prompts to increase the limit. The site also offers Request, Sign and Albums.
- Best for
- People who need to send large files to a few recipients without creating an account.
- Pricing
- No prices are shown in the captured text; the homepage links to a Pricing page and prompts 'Go Ultimate' and 'Get unlimited transfers'.
Strengths and trade-offs
Strengths

- Add a title and message to each transfer
- Request, Sign and Albums sit alongside Send
Trade-offs
- Free sending is capped at 3 recipients; the page prompts an upgrade
- The transfer form shows a 3-day setting, so links are not permanent
- Upgrade prompts appear in the send flow itself
- No prices on the homepage; pricing sits on a separate page
