At base, we understand that creative teams need more than temporary file sharing. That’s why we’ve built solutions designed for seamless transfers, permanent storage, and effortless collaboration – without limits.
WeTransfer Alternative for Large Media Files
WeTransfer is a simple file-sharing tool, but for creative teams managing large media files, its limitations quickly become obvious. Transfer size caps, temporary file availability, and a lack of storage options can slow down workflows and disrupt collaboration.
At base, we’ve built bold solutions that go beyond temporary transfers. From seamless file sharing to permanent storage and advanced collaboration tools, base is the smarter choice for media-heavy workflows.
If WeTransfer is holding your team back, it’s time to explore a better alternative. Let’s dive into why base is the upgrade your team deserves.
Why WeTransfer Falls Short for Large Media Files
WeTransfer is great for quick file sharing, but when it comes to managing large media files, its limitations become clear. The biggest challenge? File size limits. With a free plan, you’re restricted to 2GB per transfer and even paid plans cap transfers at 20GB – a frustrating ceiling for creative teams working with massive video or image files.
Another drawback is temporary availability. Files shared through WeTransfer are deleted after 7 days, forcing teams to re-upload and re-share assets repeatedly. This creates inefficiencies and risks losing important content if deadlines are delayed.
WeTransfer also lacks storage and collaboration features. It’s a file transfer tool, not a storage solution, meaning you’ll need additional platforms to organize files, manage versions, and collaborate with your team – adding unnecessary complexity to your workflow.
For teams managing large-scale media projects, these limitations slow down productivity and make WeTransfer an unreliable choice. That’s where base steps in.
