WeTransfer updated its Terms & Conditions to allow the company to use user-uploaded content to train AI models, raising privacy concerns among users. The new policy, effective from August 8, 2025, grants WeTransfer broad rights to use, modify, and reproduce user content for developing and improving AI technologies, without compensation to users.

Sharing large files over the web can be challenging, especially when email clients reject them or file transfer protocols take too long. However, there are several options available. Popular cloud storage services like Apple iCloud, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive offer flexible file sharing options. Additionally, dedicated apps like WeTransfer and Smash specialize in file sharing. These apps allow users to upload files, generate shareable links, set access permissions, and even add passwords or expiration dates to the shared files. WeTransfer offers a free plan with a 2GB file size limit, while Smash offers subscription plans with larger file size limits and additional features.
