WeTransfer alternative
A WeTransfer alternative that still knows what you sent last month
A one-time email code ties every transfer to your account, so the delivery you sent weeks ago is still there when the client asks for it again.
A practical difference
Verified sender
A one-time email code reduces anonymous abuse while recipients still download from a simple link.
Collections and history
Keep transfers organized after the first send instead of losing track of every shared link.
Download feedback
Use email transfer alerts and analytics to know whether files reached the right people.
Switching
What moving over involves
The send itself does not change
Choose files, take a link or type addresses, share. If that flow is muscle memory, it stays muscle memory.
Nothing to migrate
There is no library to bring across. History starts building from your first transfer, so there is no import to schedule and nothing to lose in it.
Where free lands
5GB per transfer and seven day retention. Whether that is generous or tight depends entirely on whether you send once a month or twice a day.
The second time you send
Familiar flow, longer memory
The send itself should feel like what you are used to. What changes is that the delivery is still there when the client asks a month later.
