WeTransfer is a cloud-based file transfer service based in Amsterdam designed to send small to large files.[2][3] WeTransfer users can send files up to 2GB in the free version.[4] The company is bootstrapped and was co-founded in 2009 by Bas Beerens and Nalden.[5]

History

WeTransfer began life as OY Transfer,[6] a client-only FTP server for Beerens' local design consultancy OY Communications. However, after their client Nike Inc. expressed a preference for OY Transfer over their own tools, its potential became apparent and it was turned into a standalone business. Since its launch and up to September 2012, WeTransfer had delivered more than 100 million files, allowing larger files than most email systems would handle- anything up to 2GB per upload.[7][1]
