WeTransfer review
A focused file-transfer service with branded sharing, tracking, and team controls.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
WeTransfer is an online file-transfer service for sending large files and folders through browser-based transfers and shareable links. It serves occasional senders, creative professionals, established teams, and organizations that need to deliver files without relying on email attachments. The service is available on the web, macOS, iOS, and Android, with features including transfer expiry, password protection, download tracking, file requests, branded pages, and a management panel.
Its freemium plan structure gives users a Free option with up to 10 transfers or 3 GB total in a rolling 30-day window. Starter increases that allowance to up to 10 transfers or 300 GB total in the same period. Ultimate adds unlimited transfers, transfers up to 1 TB each, custom expiration, branded pages, and Access Control. Teams adds shared workspaces, team brand controls, and administrative tools, while Enterprise adds a custom plan, SSO, SCIM provisioning, custom storage, and advanced compliance features. The 3-day expiry applies to Free and Starter, while Ultimate and higher plans support custom expiration.
The strongest fit is for teams that value straightforward sharing with a recognizable brand experience rather than a large integration ecosystem. WeTransfer supports Stripe for paid transfers and offers tracked or restricted downloads through Access Control, making it useful for controlled delivery and client-facing workflows. Its Public API has been retired, so teams that need API-led automation should choose a service with an active developer interface instead. Established teams seeking branded pages, shared workspaces, administrative tools, or enterprise identity controls should find the tier structure relevant; occasional users may prefer the Free plan for lighter transfer needs.
