Thanks to the use of the Internet our world has advanced significantly, it has allowed us to open up to knowledge, educate ourselves in a way that years ago would be unthinkable. Instant messaging was something that revolutionized the way we see things, being able to communicate with each other and share information is more necessary every day.
The way we communicate is advancing by leaps and bounds, this is why we need tools that meet our needs. In the case of sending files, we have encountered the problem that most messaging sites have a maximum limit on the size of the file that can be sent.
This has represented a great inconvenience for us, since it is difficult for us to work with very old files. Thanks to Wetransfer this problem disappears completely, this great tool allows us to send files of up to 2000Mb for free, which is very surprising.
How to use and send large files via Wetransfer Online for free
The usual ways to send files require prior registration, as in the case of emails like Gmail for which you can send large files and Outlook for very large files using Onedrive.
With Wetransfer we save all these steps that for some of us are usually very tedious. Because it is a web page that does not require prior registration. It also has a very simple and easy-to-use interface, but not forgetting how useful and innovative it is.
The use of this platform is completely free. As long as the files do not exceed 2 Gb.
It is very important to highlight that once the file is sent, it will be available for 1 week. This means that the person to whom we send it will have a period of one week to download it, this as a security way to protect the information.
