WeTransfer Just May Be A Worthy Drop.io Successor
Not too long after the announcement broke that facebook had acquired drop.io (and subsequently the latter would no longer be accepting new drops), I along with many others felt a bit frustrated by the sudden lack of (good) file transfer options. Have never really had a good experience with Yousendit, so that didn’t really seem like an option. But then WeTransfer quietly bubbled up, without a lot of fanfare, but seemed intriguing. After trying it out several times, I’m starting to wonder if the experience may be even a little bit better than drop.io (though I do miss my drops, I won’t lie). Love the dead simple UI and transfer process, and 2GB free limit is pretty impressive. Have been using it several times a week for the past month and a half or so, and have yet to have any issues. And I love that they took the time to think about adding an extra element of design to the background. Small detail, but nice touch. Should you require something a bit more heavyweight, there’s also a paid, yearly subscription option:
In case you’re wondering, no I don’t work for WeTransfer in any capacity, but have been happy enough with it (particularly given the surprising lack of suitable post drop.io alternatives) that I figure it’s worth pointing anyone else to it who may still be looking for a good service. Anyone else have other options they’ve turned to in a post drop.io world? Or any WeSI’m all for keeping options open.
