Which one suits you.
WeTransfer may suit you better if
- You send finished files once and need nothing back from your client.
- You want your client to pay before downloading, inside the same transfer.
- You send very large single files and want no limit on transfer size.
DropYourFiles may suit you better if
- You do client work and want a free plan that allows it.
- You want the link to stay open after the job, not expire.
- Your client should watch and leave notes before the files are final, then approve and download from the same link.
