The Problem with WeTransfer's Workflow
While WeTransfer is excellent for sending files, receiving and managing files can be cumbersome:
- Manual Downloads: You must download files to your device first
- Limited Storage Time: Files expire after just 3 days (Free/Starter)
- Device Storage: Large files take up space on your device
- Extra Steps: Download, then upload to your preferred cloud storage
🚀 A Smarter Alternative: WetoDrive
Skip the downloads and save WeTransfer files directly to Google Drive automatically. No device storage used, files saved permanently, and it's completely free to start.
