WeTransfer Not Working? Try This Instead
WeTransfer is generally reliable, but it does go down — and when you need to send a file right now, waiting isn't an option. Common issues include failed uploads, slow transfers, "something went wrong" errors, and emails that never arrive. Here's what to do when WeTransfer isn't cooperating.
Upload Files NowWhy storage.to?
Works Right Now
storage.to is up and ready. If WeTransfer is down or failing, upload your file here and get a link in seconds.
25GB vs 2GB
WeTransfer's free tier caps at 2GB. storage.to gives you 25GB — enough for the file that was probably failing on WeTransfer anyway.
Link-Based, Not Email-Based
WeTransfer emails often end up in spam or never arrive. storage.to gives you a link — paste it anywhere you want.
No Email Required
Skip the email forms entirely. Upload, get a link, share it your way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is WeTransfer not working?
Common causes include server outages, network issues, browser compatibility problems, ad blockers interfering with uploads, or hitting the 2GB free tier limit. Check downdetector.com for current outage reports.
Is storage.to a good WeTransfer replacement?
For link-based file sharing, yes. storage.to has a higher free limit (25GB vs 2GB), no email requirement, and no ads. It doesn't have WeTransfer's email delivery and notification features.
Will my recipient get an email notification?
No. storage.to generates a download link — you share it yourself via email, chat, or any other method. There's no built-in email notification system.
How reliable is storage.to?
Files are stored on Cloudflare R2 and delivered via their global CDN. Cloudflare runs one of the world's largest networks, so uptime and speed are excellent.
Do I need an account?
No. Upload immediately, get a link, share it. No account, no email, no signup on either side.
