Stop sending files. Start sharing workspaces.
WeTransfer revolutionized sending large files. But for teams that need organization, collaboration, and permanence—it's time for something better.
We believe in being radically objective. Fast.io is the best WeTransfer alternative for teams because files don't expire, workspaces keep you organized, and collaboration is built-in.
WeTransfer is excellent for sending a quick file to a stranger. But when you're working with clients long-term, "your files will expire in 7 days" becomes a liability. Fast.io gives you a permanent home for your work.
The Per-Seat Tax
WeTransfer Teams charges €25 per user per month—even if they only need to send a few files. Fast.io's usage-based pricing means you pay for storage and bandwidth, not headcount.
The Expiration Problem
WeTransfer was built for one-off sends. Upload, send link, done. But what happens when your client needs those files again six months later?
"Your files have expired"
WeTransfer files disappear after 7-30 days. Clients can't find files months later. There's no permanent archive. You end up re-sending the same files repeatedly.
Fast.io files are permanent. Once uploaded, they're always there. Clients can return anytime to access deliverables, and you have a complete archive of every project.
The WeTransfer Way
- Send files
- Wait for download
- Link expires
- Files gone forever
The Fast.io Way
- Upload & organize
- Share workspace
- Collaborate & review
- Files permanent
When WeTransfer Might Be the Better Choice
WeTransfer pioneered beautiful, simple file sending for a reason. There are specific scenarios where it excels:
- One-Off Sends to Strangers If you're sending files to someone you'll never work with again and don't need a record, WeTransfer's simplicity is perfect.
- No Ongoing Relationship When there's no need for the recipient to return for more files—just a quick handoff with no future interaction.
- Pure Handoff, No Feedback If you don't need comments, approvals, or collaboration—just a simple "here are your files" moment.
Built for Collaboration, Not Just Delivery
WeTransfer is one-way: you send, they download, that's it. Fast.io creates a collaborative workspace where feedback happens in context, not in scattered email threads.
Frame-Accurate Video Commenting
Reviewers can leave timestamped comments directly on video. "Change the color at 0:34" instead of vague email feedback.
Branded Client Portals
Create custom-branded workspaces for each client. They see your brand, not a generic transfer page.
Review & Approval Workflows
Get explicit approval on deliverables. Track who approved what and when—no more "did you see my email?" follow-ups.
