WeTransfer: Transfer Files

WeTransfer sends and receives large-file transfers with link management, upload notifications and download-status information.

Our take

Consider for sharing files when the recipient can access the link

Phone and desktop transfers can be reviewed from the same account.

Keep in mind: The advertised two-hundred-GB maximum does not establish the free-plan limit; expiry, storage and recipient access depend on the plan, and retained EXIF can reveal location.

What you can do

  • Upload and share file links
  • View status or remove transfers
  • Access eligible transfers across phone and desktop

Good for

  • Users exchanging large media or work files

Consider alternatives for

  • Users requiring permanent archival storage or unlimited free transfer sizes

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 16.0.
  • The advertised two-hundred-GB maximum does not establish the free-plan limit; expiry, storage and recipient access depend on the plan, and retained EXIF can reveal location.

Privacy & permissions

Files and link permissions are sensitive; remove unwanted metadata and choose recipients or access controls carefully.
