Considered Both Products	Sync.com Paul Li Principal Chose Sync.com Sync does an excellent job stacking up against the competitors. Like the others, Sync.com has an app that helps monitor files uploaded or downloaded into the cloud. Sync.com offers a free account that has a capacity of 6GB which is more than many of the other competitors. With … Incentivized Helpful?	WeTransfer PC Patricia Calleja Creative Copywriter Chose WeTransfer I did not choose to use Image Relay, the client did. I really like Image Relay and the fact that you can organize files in different folders, but not the fact that you have to create an account, have access to all the files and folders, and remind passwords. With WeTransfer … Incentivized Helpful? Doug Harrison Director of Client Services Chose WeTransfer WeTransfer doesn't require storage. You just send the files and you're done! Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose WeTransfer Dropbox is too complex and unreliable to use. I have had many headaches with files not downloading properly, going missing or not opening. I have to spend a lot of time to figure out what I need to do. And just as you think you have everything under control, you set up a nice … Incentivized Helpful? Rob Gokee Podcast Producer & Audio Mixer Chose WeTransfer While Dropbox is more robust with storage and ways to share, it's often cumbersome to send files, especially with clients that don't use Dropbox. WeTransfer sends my clients a link that results in an immediate download - no fuss, no having to log in. The process is much easier, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose WeTransfer Both solutions work fairly seamlessly. But we prefer Dropbox because we can more easily track our files across devices and across the organization. They are equal when it comes to sending files, but receiving files is where some friction points/frustration points arise. Incentivized Helpful? Michael Anderson Audio Engineer/ Editor Chose WeTransfer WeTransfer is much faster and cuts out a lot of the extra steps of the other services we've used. It can automatically email the recipient when the file upload is done, cutting out a step. Incentivized Helpful? Ann M. Frank Digital Asset Management and Art Buyer Chose WeTransfer We actually use both other platforms because we may be required to by our clients or vendors. I find We Transfer easier to use especially remotely - quicker to upload and send. Incentivized Helpful? Chris Hecox Business Owner Chose WeTransfer Dropbox is a terrible and slow service, so WeTransfer is the far better option between the two. Google Drive isn't as professional as WeTransfer (in my opinion) so using WeTransfer might be the better option. Incentivized Helpful? Daryl Wise Jr. Founder/Owner Chose WeTransfer The listed alternative are also very good but we have specifically used WeTransfer for it's simple and straight to the point file hosting. All of the above services require registration and WeTransfer doesn't. We can just send our files quickly and call it a day. The files … Incentivized Helpful? Aubrey Dixon Finance Administrator Chose WeTransfer While Dropbox does offer features that WeTransfer does not in terms of collaboration & organization, WeTransfer is the better option for simple file transfers. In my experience, WeTransfer is much faster for uploads & downloads. The premium version of WeTransfer also offers a … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Sync.com	WeTransfer
Likelihood to Recommend	Sync.com is well suited for all organizations who want to both store & share files in the cloud. Sync.com is only good when dealing with a single account at a time. This means all projects need to reside on a single Sync.com location since there's no app solution currently available to monitor more than one cloud storage location. Incentivized Paul Li Principal Read full review	I would definitely recommend WeTransfer - especially the paid version. I feel like all of the shortcomings with the free service (file size limit & content deletion after 7 days) are all fixed when you upgrade your account, and the service is not very expensive. It only costs $12/monthly or $120/annually. WeTransfer makes it so easy to send files, and the additional features such as creating a link to your content & password protection are great. Very straightforward & easy to use. Incentivized Aubrey Miles Finance Administrator Read full review
Pros	Store files in the cloud. Share files with others. Have file version history. Incentivized Paul Li Principal Read full review	Sharing large files Accessing files remotely Sharing files remotely Sharing with those who do not have access to our shared drive (clients, vendors, 3rd parties) Incentivized Ann M. Frank Digital Asset Management and Art Buyer Read full review
Cons	Provide an option on the desktop app to monitor more than a single account. Offer a way to see deleted files on the app. Incentivized Paul Li Principal Read full review	The price for Pro is a bit high. A way for free users to save an address book. The offline app isn't as robust as the web client. Incentivized Rob Gokee Podcast Producer & Audio Mixer Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	It's smooth, simple, no problems for sending large files. Receiving files is more complicated and has some friction points to be worked out. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Performance	No answers on this topic	WeTransfer is extremely reliable 99% of the time. There has been twice in 4 years that their service was unavailable due to server outage for several hours. Incentivized Michael Anderson Audio Engineer/ Editor Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	I've only reached out to WeTransfer support once, but they were prompt, courteous, and answered my question. I assume that future interactions would be the same, I'm looking forward to being a long term customer. Incentivized Rob Gokee Podcast Producer & Audio Mixer Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Sync does an excellent job stacking up against the competitors. Like the others, Sync.com has an app that helps monitor files uploaded or downloaded into the cloud. Sync.com offers a free account that has a capacity of 6GB which is more than many of the other competitors. With security and version history, Sync.com is the software program to beat. Incentivized Paul Li Principal Read full review	I did not choose to use Image Relay, the client did. I really like Image Relay and the fact that you can organize files in different folders, but not the fact that you have to create an account, have access to all the files and folders, and remind passwords. With WeTransfer skipping all these requirements, it is way easier and faster. Incentivized PC Patricia Calleja Creative Copywriter Read full review
Return on Investment	Sync.com has major ROI in not having to invest in more storage space on premise. Files on Sync.com are all secure and are backed up so we don't need to spend the time doing backups. Sync.com does an excellent job of allowing us to share files with others by just entering their email address. Incentivized Paul Li Principal Read full review	I can work faster since it's easy to use and reliable. Some other file transfer platforms have failed me and are too complex to manage. I keep my clients happy - never have they had any issues with a transfer. It is not an exclusive use platform, so I can use it with everyone - even new clients.
