5 reasons teams switch from WeTransfer to ShareDoc
1. "Did they even open it?" — The silence after sending
You send a proposal through WeTransfer. Days pass. No response. Did it go to spam? Are they ghosting you? With ShareDoc, you get instant notifications when they open your PDF, which pages they read, and how long they spent. No more guessing games.
2. Files that vanish after 7 days
WeTransfer's free plan expires files in 7 days. That contract you sent last week? Gone. The portfolio you shared? Deleted. ShareDoc PDFs live forever with permanent links you control. Update the PDF anytime without changing the link.
3. The AI training controversy[4] that broke trust
In July 2026, WeTransfer updated their terms implying they could use uploaded files for AI training. Creative professionals revolted. They reversed it, but trust was broken. ShareDoc's terms are simple: your PDFs are yours, period. We never access your content.
4. Team pricing that scales to €250/month for 10 users
WeTransfer Teams costs €25 per user per month. A 10-person team pays €250 monthly just to share files without any tracking. ShareDoc Pro is $29/month flat — unlimited team members, unlimited tracking, lead capture included.
5. No way to capture interested leads
Someone downloads your PDF from WeTransfer. Who are they? How do you follow up? ShareDoc requires email before viewing, building your lead list automatically. Know exactly who's interested in your content.
When WeTransfer is the better choice
Let's be honest — WeTransfer excels at sending large files (up to 300GB on paid plans) of any type. If you're a video editor sending 4K footage, a photographer delivering RAW files, or anyone moving massive non-PDF files, WeTransfer's infrastructure is built for that. Their interface is beautiful and sending requires zero friction.
ShareDoc is laser-focused on PDFs only, with a 10MB limit on free accounts. We built ShareDoc specifically for tracking document engagement — proposals, pitch decks, contracts, portfolios. If you need to know who read your PDF and which parts caught their attention, that's our specialty. If you need to move a 50GB video file, WeTransfer does that better.
