Common WeTransfer frustrations
Files disappear after 7 days
WeTransfer automatically deletes your files after a week. If your recipient misses the email or forgets to download, they are out of luck. Stash links stay active until you choose to delete them.
2 GB maximum file size
Sending a 4K video or large photo collection? WeTransfer's 2 GB limit means splitting files or paying for Pro. Stash handles files of any size without artificial limits.
No real encryption
WeTransfer encrypts files in transit, but they can access your files on their servers. Stash uses end-to-end encryption—your files are encrypted before upload and only recipients with the link can decrypt them.
Web-only experience
WeTransfer works through a browser, which is fine for desktops but clunky on mobile. Stash is a native app built specifically for iPhone, iPad, and Mac with deep system integration.

Frequently asked questions
Is Stash really unlimited?
Yes. There are no file size limits. Whether you are sharing a 10 MB document or a 10 GB video, Stash handles it the same way.
Do my links really never expire?
Links stay active until you choose to delete the file from your Stash. You are in control, not an arbitrary countdown.
Can Android or Windows users receive my files?
Absolutely. Recipients just need a web browser. They click your link and download the file instantly—no app or account required.
How is the encryption different from WeTransfer?
WeTransfer encrypts files during transfer but stores them unencrypted on their servers. Stash encrypts your files before they leave your device, and only recipients with your link can decrypt them. Even we cannot access your files.
