WeTransfer Starter, € 8.00/mo. on Linux Cloud

The Starter plan is framed as a good fit for people who need to send big files a few times a week and want more capacity than the Free tier without committing to the fully unlimited Ultimate experience. It is billed monthly and provides an allowance to share and receive up to 300 GB of data per month, a substantial increase over the 3 GB limit on the free account, making it suitable for ongoing client work, regular content deliveries or side projects that involve large creative assets. Transfers on Starter still expire after up to 3 days, so it remains a short term delivery solution rather than a long term storage product, but the larger monthly volume means you can handle repeated deliveries and multiple clients in parallel before hitting the quota. Security features are in line with modern expectations for professional sharing: password protected transfers allow you to restrict downloads to people who know the secret, data encryption ensures content is moved and stored in a protected way, and customers can enable two factor authentication on their accounts to guard against unauthorised logins. Unlike Ultimate, Starter does not include the ability to recover expired transfers, so once a link has passed its expiry you will need to create a new upload, but it still supports adding a price to transfers when selling files and does not charge platform fees on those payments, which is attractive for occasional digital sales. For individuals who send a steady stream of large files but do not yet need unlimited volume or custom branded transfer pages, Starter offers a predictable low monthly price and a workflow that matches the layout and tools used across the WeTransfer product line.

WeTransfer is designed as an online file transfer and collaboration service that focuses on making it easy to move large amounts of data without complicated storage management. In every plan you work from a clean web interface and dedicated apps where you create transfers, add recipients and messages, and then send links rather than email attachments so files stay deliverable even when they are huge. Files are stored temporarily in the WeTransfer cloud rather than on your own infrastructure, which means you do not need to run servers or configure hosting; the platform takes care of storage allocation, availability and download performance behind the scenes. Security features such as password protected transfers, encrypted connections and optional two factor authentication help keep links safer, and the service includes built in malware scanning on paid plans so recipients are warned about suspicious content. Account management is handled through an in house control panel where you can view transfers, manage contacts and configure identity options, and teams on business plans can centralise billing and ownership from the same workspace. Subscribers can pay using supported online methods such as credit cards and PayPal and manage their billing cycle directly in the account area so upgrades, downgrades and cancellations do not require contacting sales staff. Help is delivered through an online help centre, email based support and self service tools for receipts and refunds, so even small organisations without internal IT staff can keep the service running smoothly while focusing on the creative or commercial work that the transfers support.
