What is WeTransfer?
WeTransfer is one of the simplest ways to send large files. You add files or folders, enter the recipient's email or create a link, and they download it from a clean page without needing an account.
The free plan allows up to 10 transfers or 3 GB within any rolling 30 days, and links expire after a short period. Paid plans raise those limits. Starter keeps 10 transfers but allows much more data, while Ultimate offers unlimited transfers of up to 1 TB each, password protection, custom expiry dates and branded pages.
