File Transfer is the core of WeSendit®, allowing you to send large amounts of data quickly and securely worldwide. In this article, you will learn about the different sending options, supported formats, and how to protect your transfers using professional settings.
1. Transfer Options at a Glance
WeSendit® offers two primary methods for sharing your files. Choose the one that best fits your needs:
