WeTransfer does offer a free ad-supported version but as with most things in life you get what you pay for. You will be bounded by file size limits, slow speeds, poor reliability and a lack of security that your customers and partners will demand. Many large media companies won’t accept WeTransfer deliveries so the costs may show up in lost business.

Because our customers use our technology to move their most valuable assets, we take precautions to secure every layer involved in file movement. Our security technology and implementation regularly undergo extensive third-party reviews to ensure effective protection. With Signiant assets are secured in flight and move directly into and out of your storage, always remaining in your control.

With WeTransfer, assets are moved into storage operated by WeTransfer. This alone is a reason to avoid using WeTransfer for any high-value assets. In fact, many large media companies won’t accept deliveries from services like WeTransfer and require tools that meet their compliance standards – Signiant is often the recommended solution.

We believe you know best how to store your valuable assets, and we’re committed to storage independence. Wherever your assets are physically stored, on-prem or in the cloud, your content always remains 100% in your control with Signiant. We don’t bundle or resell storage and with Signiant you can connect to any number of storage endpoints at no additional charge, offering easy, secure access to assets across all your storage. Simply connect your storage to the Signiant Platform and your team will have fast, secure and reliable access to media assets, anywhere.

With WeTransfer, files are moved into and out of storage that is controlled and operated by them. This is not only a security concern it also means you can’t easily provide access to assets across storage locations. Most media companies have assets in multiple storage locations and must keep assets in their storage under their control. A service like WeTransfer simply isn’t practical for modern media companies who have assets in multiple locations and must meet high security standards.

There are three portal types that can be created to address nearly every use case. Employees, freelancers, clients and partners can access Media Shuttle portals from any web browser for an effortless way to transfer files. Learn more about Share, Submit, and Send portals.
