Skypost vs WeTransfer
WeTransfer asks for your email and the recipient's email. Skypost asks for nothing — drop a file, get 3 words, share however you want.
The quick version
WeTransfer's entire flow is built around email. You enter your email, their email, maybe a message, then upload. Skypost skips all of that. Drop your files, get 3 words, share them via WhatsApp, text, or a phone call. No email addresses required on either side.
Two-way by default
Skypost folders are two-way. Anyone with the 3-word password can upload files back to the same folder. WeTransfer is strictly one-way — if the recipient needs to send something back, they start a new transfer from scratch.
When to use which
Use WeTransfer if you specifically want email delivery and don't mind the extra steps.
Use Skypost if you want the fastest possible transfer with zero friction — especially when email isn't the best channel.
