Why people switch to Upjet
"My links died after a week"
The #1 WeTransfer complaint. Clients click a link from last month and it's gone. On Upjet, files have no expiry — send a link today, it works next year.
"2 GB isn't enough"
Video projects, design files, datasets — modern files are huge. Upjet imposes no per-file size cap on uploads.
"I just need a link"
No email forms, no recipient fields. Drop a file, copy the direct link, paste it wherever you want.

Can I migrate from WeTransfer?
Nothing to migrate — just re-upload your active files to Upjet and update the links you've shared.
