WeTransfer is the simplest way to send (and receive) big files. Whether you’re at your desk or on the go, transfer up to 200 GB in one go. That’s about 2000 videos of your cat. Share photos and videos in their original format, including all the important EXIF metadata that originates from your camera. With WeTransfer, you can check the download status, forward, and delete transfers right from your phone. If you previously sent a transfer from your laptop, you can access the files and link in the app, so you can easily paste it into your favorite messaging app without needing to open your computer. Our Live Activity notifies you when a transfer finishes uploading, so you can multitask or play a quick game while sending huge files.
