When you have to send large files it is normal that you need tools to upload the files to and be able to send them. But on the Internet you have many and you don't only have WeTransfer to send. Do you know that there are more alternatives to WeTransfer?
If you want to have a list of tools with which you can send large files without worrying about whether a page is down or not, here we give you some options that you should know about. Shall we start?
DropBox
We start with Dropbox so that you know an online hosting tool in which you can have a little more security, because to use it you need to register and create an account with which to upload the files and then share them through them.
Lets send large files like with WeTransfer, but with the assurance that you can delete it at any time (and it will no longer be available).
It can be useful for sending files that are private or require a minimum of control with them.
Google Drive
Another of the alternatives to WeTransfer that you can consider, which is similar to the previous one, is Google Drive. If you use Gmail you will know that when the files are larger than 25MB, it automatically uploads them to Google Drive (because you have storage as soon as you create your Gmail account).
Well, in this case, to use Google Drive, the first thing to do is enter this Google tool. In it you will have a storage in the cloud that you can configure to your liking (create folders, files, etc.) in such a way that you can upload or create directly from storage.
When it comes to sharing those files, you can do it in two different ways. On the one hand, you can get the url of the file, and send it like that to whoever you want to see it. On the other hand, you can also give him direct access through his email in such a way that he receives an email notifying him and with a button that takes him directly to it so that he can open or download it. If you have permissions, you could also edit it.
As for storage, this is not unlimited (nor is Dropbox), but you do have about 16GB for everything you need.
MailBigFile
Let's go with another alternative to WeTransfer. In this case, this tool allows you to use a website to send any large file you need.
To work with it you just have to go to the website, upload the file you want to send and add the other person's email. In this way, clicking on the "Send file" button will load that file and when it is complete, the other person will be sent a message with a url so they can download what you have sent.
As with WeTransfer, in this case the free account only allows you to send up to 2GB.
HiDrive Share
Another of the alternatives to WeTransfer, similar to this one, is this other tool. Again it will only allow you to send up to 2GB. Of course, you lose control of the files you upload because you will not be able to access or delete them. Of course, after 7 days they will be automatically deleted (Hence, if they are not downloaded before, they will end up being deleted and you would have to upload them again to be downloaded).
It can be used without registration and has no problem when using it. In fact, it is quite simple.
wikisend
We like this tool a lot because of a special feature that can make it very useful in some cases. And it is that it allows the downloads to come protected with a password.
Now, one of the flaws that we see is the fact that it only allows files of up to 100MB, no more. AND Although it can be used without registration, the storage time can also be customized between 1 and 90 days.
Another of the problems that we see is that the url of this tool does not have SSL certification by default, which leaves the data unencrypted (and that can be harmful).
ZetaUploader
This is one of the alternatives to WeTransfer that is not for all budgets. And it is that This tool is paid, and we already warned you that it is not cheap at all. It works the same as the previous ones, that is, you upload a large file and put an email address of the person who should receive it.
However, as we told you, it is not cheap, quite the contrary, which makes it only suitable for companies that constantly need this type of service and also with all the guarantees in terms of security and data protection (because it can be used in the infrastructure itself).
TransferNow
We know that sometimes WeTransfer can fall short, even though sending large files larger than 2GB is not common. But if you need more (and not have to send several), here is another option. In this case, this tool allows you to send up to 4GB.
It is quite simple to send, because you will only have to choose the files to upload, fill in the data you need to send the files and hit send so that it starts uploading and, once ready, send everything.
This would only be the free version, because the paid version will allow you up to 50GB, which already makes us talk about "big words".
Transfer XL
How about we double those gigabytes of shipping and bump it up to 100GB? Well, that's what you'll get with the paid version of Transfer XL. But don't worry, it also has a free option, the only thing that only transfers up to 10GB.
In this case the files are very easy to add and again you have to put an email so that they send the url to that person.
SendThisFile
This is one of the alternatives to WeTransfer that we like the most because of the security it offers when it comes to encrypting the files you upload. Of course, it has not so good things, such as for example that it forces you to register to use it, that You can only send files up to 50MB and these will be deleted after 7 days.
Even so, it has other plans that are not badly priced. But if you are only going to use it occasionally, other options may be much more suitable for you.
Do you know of any other alternatives to WeTransfer that allow you to send large files for free? We read you in comments!
