# WeTransfer Free Limit: What You Get and What to Do When You Hit It Last updated: 2026-09-23 WeTransfer changed its free plan in late 2024, and the limits catch a lot of people mid-project. As of September 2026, WeTransfer Free allows 10 transfers or 3GB in total per rolling 30 days, transfers expire after up to 3 days, and sending requires an account. Here is exactly how the limit works, how to see what you have left, and how to get today's file delivered when you are out. [Upload Files Now](https://storage.to/) - Unlimited downloads - No speed throttling - No wait timers - No transfer quotas ## Why storage.to? - **3GB or 10 Transfers, Whichever Comes First**: As of September 2026, WeTransfer Free lets you send up to 10 transfers or 3GB in total, whichever you reach first, in any rolling 30-day window. One 3GB transfer uses the whole allowance. - **A Rolling 30-Day Window**: The window is not a calendar month. Each transfer frees up its slot 30 days after you sent it, so a busy week can lock you out for most of the following month. - **Links Expire After 3 Days**: Free transfers stay available for up to 3 days. If your client is travelling or out for a long weekend, the link can expire before they open it. - **Free Is for Non-Commercial Use**: WeTransfer's pricing page lists Free as "for individual, non-commercial use only". If you are sending files to clients, WeTransfer expects you to be on a paid plan. ## How It Works 1. **Check What You Have Left** - Hover over your account email on wetransfer.com, or open the Sent section of the Transfers tab, to see how much of the allowance you have left. 2. **Send the File Another Way** - If you just need this one file delivered, upload it to storage.to instead: up to 25GB per file, no account, and no monthly transfer allowance on the website. 3. **Share the Link** - Copy the link and paste it into your email, Slack or WhatsApp. Pick an expiry from 1 to 7 days so the link outlasts a long weekend. ## Perfect For - **One Video Export Is Over 3GB**: A 4K export or a day of camera footage is usually well over 3GB. It will not fit in a free WeTransfer at all. - **You Send More Than 10 Transfers a Month**: Freelancers sending proofs, revisions and final files can burn through 10 transfers in a week. - **Deadline Before Your Reset**: You need to get a file out today and the allowance only resets when an old transfer turns 30 days old. - **The Recipient Needs More Time**: Your client needs longer than 3 days to download, so the link has to last up to a week. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is the WeTransfer free limit? As of September 2026: up to 10 transfers or 3GB in total per rolling 30 days, whichever you hit first, with transfers available for up to 3 days. You need a WeTransfer account, created by verifying your email with a code. ### When does the WeTransfer free limit reset? It does not reset on a fixed date. WeTransfer counts the transfers you sent in the last 30 days, so each one frees up its slot 30 days after it was sent. ### Can I send more than 3GB on WeTransfer? Not on Free. Starter ($8/month, or $7/month billed yearly) raises the allowance to 300GB but keeps the 10-transfer cap and 3-day expiry. Ultimate ($23/month, or $19/month billed yearly) removes the transfer cap and allows up to 1TB per transfer. ### What does storage.to allow for free? Files up to 25GB each, no account, and no monthly transfer allowance on the website. Files expire after 3 days by default and you can choose 1 to 7. Anonymous uploads through the API or CLI are limited to 50 files per 24 hours. ### Is there a paid storage.to plan? It changes what you pay for. storage.to Premium starts at $5/month and keeps files permanently, with uploads up to 100GB per file. Downloads are never throttled on any plan, free included. ## Out of WeTransfer Transfers? Send It Here Upload a file up to 25GB, get a link in seconds. No account, no monthly allowance to run out of.
