File delivery and video review clients can open
Dropbox is how a finished cut reaches a client who will not install anything, and Replay adds timestamped comments on top so the notes come back attached to the frame. Two terabytes on the personal plan is roughly a year of 4K projects. Frame.io is the better review tool; this is the better place to put the files.
Only on this side
Big files sent without an account
WeTransfer sends a large file to somebody who does not want to install anything, sign up for anything or be walked through a shared drive. That is the entire product and it has been for years. The free tier moves 3 GB a month across ten transfers, and paying removes the size limit, the expiry and the ten.
Our note
For occasional delivery the free tier is the whole product and always has been. The paid plan is worth it only when clients see the transfer page often enough for the branding to matter, or when files routinely run past a couple of gigabytes.
Ratings are the average of reviews readers left. The facts are stated by each tool’s own listing and are not verified by CloutStack. How we make money.
