At Slate Web Ltd, we send large files every day. Design mockups, video content, client presentations-you name it. For years, WeTransfer was the obvious choice. Then we discovered TransferNow, and honestly, we haven’t looked back.

Here’s what makes TransferNow worth considering.

Bigger Files, No Hidden Limits

The free plan lets you transfer files up to 5GB. There’s no cap on how many transfers you can make or how much data you can send each month. You can send fifty 5GB files in a week if you need to. WeTransfer’s free version now limits you to 3GB per transfer, with a total of 10 transfers or 3GB over 30 days. When you’re working on multiple projects, those limits add up quickly.

Faster to Use

TransferNow doesn’t ask you to validate your email address before creating a transfer. You upload your files, add the recipient’s email or grab a download link, and you’re done. It’s genuinely quicker, which matters when you’re trying to meet a deadline.

Better Security for Free

Password protection comes included at no cost, even without an account. Every file transfer gets scanned for viruses before it’s validated, which gives you peace of mind when receiving files from clients or external partners. These features are table stakes for professional work, and it’s good to see them available without needing to upgrade.

Pricing That Makes Sense

If you need paid features, TransferNow uses team packages rather than charging per user. For agencies like ours at helloslate.co.uk, this pricing structure works out significantly cheaper. WeTransfer’s per-user model can get expensive when you’re adding multiple team members.

Designed for Receiving Files

The platform offers a customisable widget you can embed on your website to receive files directly. You get email notifications when something arrives. It’s a proper two-way system, which is useful when you need clients to send you content rather than the other way around.

TransferNow stores files in France or nearby European servers based on your location, which can mean better speeds and clearer data handling for UK businesses.

If you’re sending files regularly and hitting limits with other services, TransferNow is worth trying. We’ve been using it at Slate Web Ltd for our client work, and it’s become an essential part of how we operate.
