reshare vs WeTransfer
WeTransfer moves big files fast, and then the link dies: free transfers stay available for up to 3 days. reshare is the opposite trade. Files are capped at 50 MB, but the link is permanent, opens as viewable content instead of a download, and keeps serving the newest version when you update the file.

Free. Sign in with Google and your link is ready in seconds.
How it works
- 01
Sending multiple gigabytes once?
Use WeTransfer. Its free plan takes up to 3 GB per transfer, far beyond reshare’s 50 MB.
- 02
Sharing something people will open later?
Use reshare. The link in that email still works next month, and next year.
- 03
Sharing something that changes?
Only reshare does this: upload a new version and the link you already sent serves it.
Where each one wins
| reshare | WeTransfer | |
|---|---|---|
| How long the link lives | Until you delete it. | Free transfers are kept online for up to 3 days. |
| Max size, free | 50 MB per file. | Up to 3 GB per transfer. |
| What the recipient sees | The content itself: pages render, PDFs and videos open in the browser. | A download page. |
| Updating what you sent | Same link, new version, history kept. | A new transfer means a new link. |
| Knowing it was opened | Server-side view counts on every link, free. | Download emails and tracking vary by plan. |

The honest summary
These tools solve different halves of the same sentence. WeTransfer answers "get this big thing to that person right now" and stops there. reshare answers "put this on a link people can keep using", which is why the cap is smaller and the link never expires. For a 2 GB video shoot, WeTransfer. For the proposal, report, page, or clip that represents you after you hit send, reshare.
