Did you ever find yourself in the need of sending across big files across to your friends, then the only option is to upload the files to the cloud storage services like DropBox or any File Upload sites.Many file upload sites require user registration to use their services and the data upload process is not secure.Here’s another file upload and sharing but with many features many free would want but can find only in PRO Accounts of many Cloud storage services.
Here are a few of WeTransfer Features :

- All the files can be downloaded by the recipients in a single file
- Download links for the files can be sent to 20 recipients at once.
- The uploaded files are stored on the server for 2 weeks and the files can be downloaded any number of time
In the first email you receive are the download links along with an option to forward the same files to others without the need to re-upload the files again,Clicking on the Forward button opens up a new window with the files listed, and requiring you to just enter the email id’s to forward and that its the files are sent.All transfers are secure on WeTransfer as it and all download links sent are unique to each recipient making it difficult to guess file names to download directly from the server.The inbox is itself the control panel, from where you can download the uploaded file, forward it, receive confirmation on recipients downloading the files.All emails have the date mentioned until which the files would be available for download.
