e here at danklife have been pro WeTransfer since they pretty much started. For sending out files to clients and sharing work, it was a very easy, “post it, send and link and forget it” kind of service. No permissions to manage, no, “Running out of space” to manage by hand, etc…
Then we noticed they were sold to a somewhat slimy Private Equity group and were keeping an eye on it in case they started doing the shitty stuff Private Equity does. The uploads started failing a bit more, but whatever, we could live with that. BUT they just did a HOLY SHIT massive rights grab on anything you post on there with a TRANSFERABLE license. Which means, yeah, we can sell your shit on Getty or other stock sites. Yeah, my clients will love that.
Anyways, cancel your accounts now. Here a screengrab of the updates terms and a link to the video Jeremy found where they talk about it.
