WeTransfer is primarily a file sharing site.
If you use the desktop app, there are no limits. They also have an upload limit of 300MB when using their website. The major drawback of Dropbox is the storage limit which is set at 2GB. Dropbox also have a Desktop app that sync’s a local Dropbox folder with your online account. You can share this url link with someone and they’ll have access to the file. The best way to share files is by using a folder, especially if you are sharing multiple files. You can also share files and folders in your Dropbox account. If you don’t have one you can register here. However, you do need an account with Dropbox to use the service. Dropbox and USB storage device are very similar: you have limited storage (2GB) you can create, delete, and undelete folders and files. A good metaphor for Dropbox is a USB storage drive that’s online. The files are stored in the “cloud” which means you can access them through an internet connection from anywhere. Dropboxĭropbox is a “cloud” service that allows you to store and share files. I’d recommend the Dropbox pro account over WeTransfer – you can do more with 1TB dropbox account. It’s very similar to dropbox, without the dropbox sync (which by the way is a great tool to have). Update: WeTransfer now have a pro account at $10/month and you can store the files in the cloud forever. These sites offer free and paid services, for now I’ll restrict my review to the free services they provide. Today I’d like to review two of them, WeTransfer vs Dropbox and offer suggestions on when you should use them.
There are other online services that I use to share and store files. WeTransfer is another great way to share files. Torrent files are rarely used but are a great way to share files, especially very large ones. There are other ways to store and share files over the net.
A while back I wrote a guide on using Dropbox to share files.
