Currently, WeTransfer on iOS only works with photos and video. That is, you can upload your photos and videos to the cloud, but also to share them with your friends directly from your iPhone.
The principle of operation is as follows:
- on the main screen select the files to send and click Next;
- specify recipient email (do not worry, here will be sent a link to files stored in the cloud, at which they can be downloaded);
- specify your email, so that the recipient can see from whom the message;
- (Optional) attach the text to the message;
- Hit Transfer;
An important point - do not require any registration. The recipient will receive an email containing a link which will be sent to download the files, it will look something like this.
WeTransfer interface is incredibly minimalistic and has a neat design. The application is widely used control gestures. For example, to quickly scroll through photos of the month to do two-finger swipe. Or say, for perescheniya to the last photo in the folder you need to use the swipe three fingers. All these details make the use WeTransfer very user friendly and allows you to quickly upload your photos and videos.
Application works either through Wi-Fi, or via 3G / 4G connection. The free account users will be available to 10 GB for a single administration that is not so little. You can stop the download when you leave Wi-Fi zone and easy to continue it later. The files will be stored in the cloud just one week.
It is noteworthy that WeTransfer works fine with any connection, whether 3G or Wi-Fi and seamlessly switch between them without interrupting the download. Of course, if your calling plan does not provide for bezlmitny access to the network, it is best to turn off your data connection through the cellular network, in order to avoid unpleasant surprises.
The app is free, but there is also a version of the service for a fee - this WeTransfer Plus account. In this case, you already get 50 GB of disk space in the cloud and the ability to access your files from any device. Plus-subscription cost is $ 10 per month or $ 120 a year.
It's obvious that this is only the beginning and the opening in the iOS-app the ability to upload photos and videos WeTransfer «probes' ground. In the future, most likely we will see a full-featured cloud service for downloading files. Now WeTransfer mobile app is available for iOS only, but according to the company, is about to take place WeTransfer release for Android, on which they are now working hard.
