WeTransfer
No-login link sharing for one-off masters and stems.
Our take
WeTransfer used to be the universal file-transfer link — drop a 2GB file, send a link, done. The free tier got slashed (10 transfers and 3GB per 30 days, files expire in 3 days) and the old Pro plan is gone. Still useful for one-off podcast masters; for anything serious MASV or Smash deliver more.

In depth
WeTransfer was the no-account, drop-a-link, share-a-big-file service that defined an era of casual file transfers. The brand is still everywhere — but the 2024 pricing restructure quietly tightened the free tier in ways that bite.
Free now allows just 10 transfers totaling 3GB in any rolling 30-day window, with files staying active only 1-3 days. The Starter plan at $6.99/mo lifts the cap to 300GB monthly and includes password protection and file requests.
Ultimate, Teams, and Enterprise tiers stack additional storage and admin tools on top. The classic Pro, Plus, Distribute, Transfer, and Collaborate plans were retired in the restructure. Where it shines is the brand and the polish — non-technical guests recognize the WeTransfer email, trust the link, and have used it before.
The interface remains clean, with no signup required to download. Where it falls short is the new free-tier math: at 3GB per 30 days, you can barely send one full-quality podcast video to your editor before hitting the cap.
The 3-day file expiration also catches people off-guard when a guest comes back a week later to grab the file and it's gone. For one-off masters and stem deliveries to recipients who'd never download MASV or Smash, WeTransfer remains the default — just budget for Starter at $6.99/mo if you send more than a couple times a month.
