Collect by WeTransfer

THE GOOD: Great app. Really one of a kind platform that can have so many uses. I have used it for years to send myself drafts of songs from my computer and then am able to listen to them on different speakers / house them. The organizational ability is also huge as I can sort songs into different folders based on the projects I am working on. Would recommend this for anyone who’s a creative and needs a free way to transfer pictures, videos, music - as long as they’re not too large (I use free option). IMPROVEMENTS: There’s so much that can be done here. 1) adding a search bar - being able to look up songs or files, especially when you have a lot, would be so helpful. 2) sorting files by their size - it would be nice to know how much songs / files take up, especially on the free plan. 3) taking notes while a song is being played - another small addition that could be useful, especially when listening to songs on car speakers (not driving), phone speakers or headphones. Not a big deal, just an idea. 4) UI for the boards - don’t get me wrong, I love the board layout. Sometimes it would be nice to have a list view, or any sort of customization to the general interface. Again, props to you guys for making a great app. Truly one of one. I will continue using this app for a while.

I have been a 53 paper user creating illustrations, design drafts for logos, wireframes etc for many years, along with other creation tools such as Procreate and Adobe Fresco. Working on each of these projects requires a lot of reference images / videos form a variety of sources. While previously using a combination of Pinterest and apple photos, I find this little app standing out for being simplistic and light weighted, allowing me to quickly organizing a handful of stuff for a specific project at hand. I love it that it does not offer much complex features, and it stands alone so I don’t have to pollute my own family photo albums when searching for references of Sphinx and Dragons. There’re certain “basic” interactions I would love to see in this app that would really brighten the day for me. E.g Arrange layout of a board via drag and drop, make a certain image larger or smaller, using drag to move stuff to another board, use gesture to return to previous navigation steps. Etc. I have loved how paper provides affordances comparable to a real sketchbook via paper flipping and opening / closing gestures, and thus look for similar features in Collect, being a digital Clipping book equivalent. All in all I enjoy using this tool so far and look forward to more improvements. I would recommend it to anyone who are in search of a pocket clip book in its most simple form.

First of all I’d like to say that I use the desktop version often and it is a great service so thank you for that. I just went to the site on my phone to transfer a video and found it saying to get the app. Ok, fine, I thought, everyone has an app so I don’t mind and if there are ads or something that’s ok too. Instead I find something completely different than what I know wetransfer for, presumably trying to start some sort of Pinterest style network to cash in on that style of media sharing. When I want to send photos to clients I am certainly not going to be sending a board because it is not as professional, intuitive and simply not what I want. It was perfect on the website - even the older people I know who are not tech savvy that intel about it can use it and know what they’re doing. This looks like a “feature” that no one asked for. I am not saying I deserve this or you should change it for me - I don’t have any kind of self entitled motivations here but I did want to mention it because I know that a segment of your users will be pushed away from this and I’m afraid that you will try to do this on the website too. I hope you reconsider, or if you really want to make some Pinterest rival that you do it as some other name and keep wetransfer as what we all know and love, which is a simple and effective file transfer service. It is hard to find a reliable service like this so it would be a shame to see it go down this road.
