WeTransfer is the most popular service for sharing large files with our contacts. It is a tool that allows you to share files of up to 2 GB in its free version, and up to 20 GB in the paid version. Today we propose 10 alternatives that you can use if the WeTransfer free plan falls short , or stops working for some reason such as a problem on their servers.
First, let's look at services that, in addition to sharing, allow files to be stored in the cloud so that they can be accessed from anywhere.
Mega
Mega has become one of the most widely used file sharing services on the Internet. Its free version offers you 50 GB of storage space , and you can share large files without problems. Mega even allows you to encrypt files with a password so that your content is more protected.
If you need more, you can opt for several payment plans with a starting price of 5 euros per month, with a storage capacity of 200 GB and 1 TB of data transfer.
Google drive
Google Drive is another excellent option for sharing your large files. The free version offers 15 GB of storage, and you can share the content with anyone you want. An advantage is that it has full integration with other company services , such as Google Docs.
If it falls short, you can hire the Google One service that gives you access to several plans with storage capacities of 100 GB, 200 GB and 2 TB for prices that start at 20 euros per year or 2 euros per month.
Dropbox
Dropbox was one of the pioneers in file sharing services over the Internet . I have been using it in my student years at university and it is great for sharing documents and all kinds of files with classmates.
Its free version offers 3 GB, a very limited amount but which may be valid if you don't need to keep the files in the cloud once your contacts have received and downloaded them. Their payment plans start at 2 TB of space for 12 euros per month.
OneDrive
OneDrive is Microsoft's cloud storage service that you can also use to share files. The free version gives you 5GB of space so you can store and share your most important files.
If you need more space, you can buy a plan with 100 GB for only 2 euros per month . You also have higher plans that include an Office 360 subscription.
We now go to see the best services if you only want to share the files and not store them.
Filemail
Filemail stands out for allowing you to send files weighing up to 50 GB in its free version , it will be difficult for you to need to send something that exceeds the limit. It also offers file tracking, so you can know when the recipient received it, and when they opened it.
It has applications and plugins to integrate its functions with the main operating systems and the most popular mail services, such as Gmail and Hotmail. It has a payment plan for 15 euros per month that eliminates the limit on the size of the files, and allows you to protect them with a password.
Send Anywhere
We continue with Send Anywhere, a tool that is well known and that allows us to send files up to 10 GB without having to pay a single penny . A negative point is that the service shows some ads, and the files expire in just 48 hours, compared to 72 hours in the previous two.
The paid version increases the size of the files up to 1 TB and eliminates the expiration of the files. It will also offer you file tracking, eliminate advertising and improve upload and download speed, all for just 6 euros per month.
Transfer XL
Transfer XL is a file sharing service on the Internet that is characterized by offering excellent transfer speed and encryption. The free version will allow you to send files of up to 5 GB, with a retention time of one week and a daily transfer limit of 10 GB. Some features that will be very interesting for many users.
The paid version is priced at 10 euros per month and extends the file limit to 25 GB. It also allows you to create a specific subdomain and you can change the download wallpaper, something more aesthetic than useful.
MyAirBridge
MyAirBridge works in a very similar way to Filemail, although it does not offer applications or plugins to improve its functionality. This makes it an extremely simple and easy to use service, but very functional. You can send files with a size of up to 20 GB completely free .
It also has a payment plan that increases the size of the files up to 50 GB, the best of all is that it only costs 2.59 euros per month, so it is available to all users. Higher plans are available with larger file sizes and password protection.
Plus Transfer
Plus Transfer is committed to an aesthetic very similar to WeTransfer to facilitate the adaptation of users. Its operation is very simple, although the free plan is quite limited, since it only allows you to send files of up to 5 GB. It will also show you some advertising, although it is not too invasive.
Jumbo Mail
We finish with Jumbo Mail, an alternative to WeTransfer that stands out for keeping files on its servers for a maximum time of 7 days before deleting them. Its free version allows you to share files of up to 5 GB, which is expanded to 20 GB in its paid version of 11 euros per month. This latest version also increases the retention time of files up to six months.
