Images are grouped by month and you can scroll down through previous months by tapping the month name. You can preview an image or start playing a video just by long-pressing the thumbnail. Videos and images on your Camera Roll are displayed as thumbnails and you simply select the ones you want to send by tapping them. Transferring files with WeTransfer is made as easy as possible thanks to an ultra minimalistic user interface.

The app supports up-to 10GB per transfer, but if you subscribe to the WeTransfer Plus service, you get extra storage, as well as other benefits such as the ability to keep a record of the transfers you make.

It's a quicker alternative to uploading to a public folder on Dropbox or Google Drive and then sharing the link with someone, and obviously it's far more practical than sharing images individually or in small groups via email through the Android Photos app.

Then they click this link to download the images or video to their computer or smartphone. The app was still called WeTransfer, but it was doing something different from the web product, and that led to unpleasant surprises.WeTransfer then sends the recipient a mail with a link to the address of where the files have been uploaded to. A lot of our users weren’t happy with our product, because we didn’t properly communicate what we’d designed it for. In order to fully deliver on it, we need to tell our story better. We believe that collecting is our future as it’s so critical to creative thinking. This made us realize that we had to double down on collecting. In just nine months, our user base grew to more than four million people, who saved tens of millions of things. So we built that feature and made it possible to use the transfer service people know and love from on their phones.īut, luckily, we also got positive signals. Sometimes people just want to send a couple of files and the app made that much more complex than it needed to be. Listening to our users helped us understand that we had broken a key flow for some of them. It was difficult to see those responses on something we had put so much hard work into, but we knew if we were onto something, we’d see signs sooner or later.
#COLLECT BY WETRANSFER UPDATE#
You just have to take that leap.īut when we shipped the update in October 2017, the negative reviews rolled in and our App Store rating tanked. But as with a new haircut, at first you know that people will hate it, but, over time, if it’s good, people will grow to love it. We knew not everyone would welcome this change: some people loved the single-use tool that we had. And it should be really visual because that’s how communication on mobile is. It had to work with any kind of content - from links to files to pictures - and it had to be super simple to save from any app using its share-sheet. We imagined a new way to save, keep and share great stuff on mobile. All their content was scattered in different places, making it hard to find, let alone share.

They had tons of screenshots, weird notes filled with links, and they even texted themselves as a way to save interesting stuff. We found they were making and finding beautiful things on their phones, but they struggled with where to keep all this great content.

So we hit the road and spoke to a lot of creatives to see what their workflow looked like, and what kind of problems they ran into. You can’t solve a problem without knowing your users. But that problem had to be as painful as sending large files used to be on desktop back in 2009 when we launched WeTransfer. We understood the platform was different, and so we had to solve a different kind of problem. We wanted to build something that would help creatives without trying to trick or trap them. We felt we could step up our game, so we set out to build something future-proof.Īlmost every app today is built to distract you, to lock you in and to dominate your attention. People were using it more and more to create.
