WeTransfer: Transfer Files

For many years, I have struggled with different applications in transferring videos. Some that compress the file and compromise its final quality. Thus far I am loving this application – we have used it now for slightly over a week and all of our finished products are crystal clear in addition to remaining high-quality. we also love the ability to encrypt video with a password for those that will end up receiving and downloading it. I also am in love with the fact that we can a lot is certain timeframe before. The video itself expires. I no longer have to have tons of videos on my iPhone.

The interface itself is extremely basic, there’s hardly any options. The much bigger issue is the fact that unless you’re sending an email directly to someone, there is no designation as to where this “transfer” is going. It seems as though it’s just packaged together to eventually send as a transfer and kept in a “transferred” section without being transferred to anyone yet (which is extremely confusing), despite the fact it goes through this whole active process of “transferring” as if to another device. To make it more confusing, even though the “transfers” that have not been transferred anywhere are automatically saved in the “transferred” section, there’s a whole other option to store “saved” transfers. Basically it looks and behaves like a 5 year old created this app.

I loooove wetransfer. It took me so long to find something like wetransfer to send my files and it’s really the best. But what happened to the auto-view for videos? I used to be able to send a link and if you long pressed it and opened it in chrome it would just start playing automatically. Now it makes you wait to download the video before viewing which for some people is a huge hassle. I’m having more people request Dropbox view links now as well so they don’t have to download. Hopefully u can bring this feature back? Otherwise I love wetransfer and I use it every day, several times a day! Would love to see this feature return.
