About WeTransfer
WeTransfer is a web service for sending files that are too large to attach to an email. You upload files, photos or videos in the browser and the recipient receives a download link or an email.
Sending does not require an account, which makes it a quick choice for one-off transfers to clients, friends or colleagues who should not have to install anything. The files are stored on WeTransfer's servers until they are downloaded.
Strengths
- Sends large files without needing an account
- Recipients only need a browser to download
- Handles files, photos and videos
Limitations
- Files pass through a third-party server
- The site relies on scripts that some firewalls and browser setups block
