WeTransfer sends me an email to let me know when the recipient has downloaded a file I uploaded. Is this any different?

Hi there, thanks for your comment - so first we have a more expansive feature set than WeTransfer for users in different sectors. From a security point of view, of course you're completely right WeTransfer sends emails to users to inform them of when someone downloaded their file (and so do we). However, we go a step further - every delivery also carries a signed certificate/receipt with a hash so that the recipient can look up independently on the platform whether that file transfer came from us or not. Users can also restrict deliveries by country, cap the number of downloads, or request id-verified delivery (this is particularly useful for legal) to ensure that a user proves to the sender it's them downloading files that are particularly sensitive.

Thanks for the reply and for clarifying. The website didnt immediately make that obvious, the main selling point above the fold is that you can know when your download lands. If your product differs significantly from others on the market, IMO you should scream about that as soon as you can.

		Hi alt227, thanks very much - this is really useful advice - we changed the layout to make this more clear - will certainly take this on board!

There's a weird Stripe integration I guess. I wonder what Stripe keys you have to trust them with.

		Hi thanks for your comment. Do you mean Stripe Connect? For users that want to send files to paying clients, they can connect their Stripe Connect account to their Ive Sent It account - that's the only integration if that's what you mean.
