filesnare vs WeTransfer
Sending was solved. Collecting wasn't.
WeTransfer made moving big files painless, and it earned the reputation. The whole product leans one way though: you upload, they download.
filesnare puts collecting on equal footing. Describe what you need, set the rules, share one link. Files arrive scanned, in storage, with an expiry you chose.

Where WeTransfer still wins
Raw size, for now. WeTransfer's paid plans move up to 1 TB in a single transfer, and filesnare currently tops out at 5 GB per file. Bigger transfers are on our roadmap. Until then, ship film footage and disk images with WeTransfer and put the client paperwork on filesnare.
A transfer or a workflow
WeTransfer treats a transfer as a moment. Files go up, the link goes out, and on the free plan it's gone three days later. That suits a one-off handover.
filesnare treats it as a workflow. A request stays open until your deadline, rejects what you didn't ask for, scans what lands, and deletes on the schedule you set. Collecting documents from clients is repetitive work, so the tool should do the repeating.
