The WeTransfer Alternative for Secure File Sharing
WeTransfer is great for casual big-file sends — but if you need end-to-end encryption, password protection without paying $12/mo, download limits, or a developer API, Quickupload gives you all of that and more at a lower price.
End-to-End Encryption
AES-256-GCM client-side encryption on every file. WeTransfer offers no E2EE on any plan.
Password Protection
Free plan included. WeTransfer locks this behind their $12/mo Pro tier.
REST API Access
Automate uploads, manage files, integrate into your app. WeTransfer has no public upload API.
Download Limits & Expiry
Cap downloads per link, set custom expiry. WeTransfer gives you 7 days fixed, no limits.
Lower Pro Price
Pro from $9/mo vs WeTransfer Pro at $12/mo — with more security features included.
Global CDN Delivery
Cloudflare edge network in 200+ locations. Same fast downloads worldwide.
