Looking for a WeTransfer alternative?
WeTransfer's free plan now caps you at 10 transfers or 3 GB total in any rolling 30-day window — removing that cap costs $25/month on the Ultimate plan. ShareFile's peer-to-peer transfers skip the cap entirely, because nothing is stored on a server to meter.
If you're sending a file to someone who's online right now, ShareFile's free P2P has no cap, no expiration, and no account. If your recipient won't open the link for days, or you want branded delivery pages, WeTransfer is still a real option.
| ShareFile | WeTransfer | |
|---|---|---|
| Free transfer limit | Unlimited, no rolling window | 3 GB / 30 days, 10 transfers |
| Price to remove the limit | $0 — P2P stays unlimited forever | $25/month (Ultimate) |
| Where files live | Nowhere — streamed directly between devices | Stored on WeTransfer's servers |
| Team pricing | $99/month flat, no per-seat minimum | Custom, typically per-seat |
Choose ShareFile if
- You're sending to someone who's online right now
- You don't want a subscription for a one-off transfer
- You want nothing stored on a server that could later expire or leak
- You're a small team that doesn't want per-seat pricing
Choose WeTransfer if
- Your recipient might not open the link for days
- You want branded delivery pages without setting up cloud storage first
- You need up to 1 TB in a single transfer (Ultimate plan)
Is WeTransfer actually free?
WeTransfer's free plan allows up to 10 transfers or 3 GB total in any rolling 30-day window. Beyond that, you need the $6.99/month Starter plan or the $25/month Ultimate plan.
Is ShareFile completely free?
ShareFile's peer-to-peer transfers are free with no size cap, no account, and no expiration. Paid Pro ($9/month) and Studio ($99/month) tiers add optional cloud storage for links that need to stay live when the recipient isn't online yet.
What's the catch with ShareFile's free P2P transfers?
Both people need to be online at the same time, since there's no server holding the file in between. If your recipient won't be online for days, a stored link (WeTransfer, or ShareFile's Pro cloud tier) is the better fit.
Does ShareFile do branded delivery pages like WeTransfer Ultimate?
Yes — ShareFile's Studio plan ($99/month, no per-seat cost) adds custom branding, an audit log, and team sharing on one shared quota, aimed at studios and agencies delivering client work.
