For video production teams
Send large video files without hitting a cap
A shoot day fills 40-100 GB of camera cards before the drone goes up. WebUploads moves footage at that scale with no transfer meter, keeps it in storage that outlives the edit, and collects raw files from clients and shooters without accounts.

The problem
The arithmetic of a shoot day
Two cameras rolling interviews all morning produce 40-100 GB of cards. Add a drone pass and a second shooter and one production day can cross 200 GB. Every tool that promises to send large video files meets that number differently: email gives up around 25 MB, one-shot transfer tools meter the month, and per-gigabyte services bill you hardest in delivery week, exactly when volume peaks.
WebUploads meters storage, and only storage. Starter holds 500 GB, Professional 2 TB, Business 10 TB. Transfer volume is unlimited on every plan, whether you are pushing one rough cut or pulling a week of dailies. Platform rate limits apply to prevent abuse; there is no monthly transfer number to watch.
Under the hood
Why unlimited transfer volume holds up
The promise holds because of where the files sit. WebUploads stores files on Cloudflare R2, which charges nothing for egress: a download costs us the same whether a client pulls 2 GB or 2 TB. Services built on providers that bill for egress have to pass that cost along as monthly caps or per-gigabyte fees. Our costs do not rise when you transfer more, so the plans do not need a meter. Cloudflare publishes R2's zero-egress pricing, so the mechanism is checkable.
Side by side
One-shot transfer links vs a workspace
One-shot transfer tools are built around a single event: upload, link, download, gone. Production is not a single event. A cut goes out on Thursday, the client opens it the following Wednesday, and version 3 follows two weeks later. On WeTransfer's $10 Starter plan, transfers expire within 3 days and the month caps at 300 GB and 10 transfers (checked August 2026); a normal approval cycle rarely fits inside either number.
A WebUploads workspace holds the project instead. Footage and cuts live in one place the whole team can reach, delivery is a short 6-character download link with an expiration date you choose, and a revision is a new link, not a re-upload.
| Aspect | One-shot transfer tools | WebUploads |
|---|---|---|
| Link lifetime | Days on cheap tiers, and the files leave with it | Upload links last a year by default; download links expire when you choose |
| Monthly volume | Capped, or billed per gigabyte moved | Unlimited transfer volume on every plan |
| Where files live | Inside the transfer, gone after expiry | In a workspace: 500 GB to 10 TB by plan |
| Collecting footage | Requests come back as more expiring transfers | Upload request links land files in your workspace |
| Revisions | Re-upload and resend | New short link from the same workspace |
One-shot tools vary by vendor; the WeTransfer figures above were checked on wetransfer.com in August 2026. Full comparison: WebUploads vs WeTransfer.
Inbound
Receive raw footage from clients and shooters
Half of production file exchange is inbound. The client has archival footage on a drive, the second shooter has last night's cards at the hotel, and neither should need an account to hand them over. An upload request link is a standing drop point at your subdomain: they open it in a browser, drop the files, and are done.
Links last a year by default and take an optional max file count. Uploads land in your workspace sorted by request, and the team gets an email digest of what arrived, so the editor is pulling selects the same day instead of chasing drives around town.
Pricing
Pick the tier by the volume you keep
A solo shooter delivering weddings and corporate spots fits Starter at $12 per month with 500 GB. A small crew keeping active projects live fits Professional at $29 with 2 TB and unlimited team members. Business at $149 holds 10 TB, enough to keep months of in-flight work online while clients review, and adds dedicated onboarding. One honest note: WebUploads is the live pipe between you, your shooters, and your clients. A deep archive of wrapped projects still belongs on your own drives.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to send large video files to a client?
Skip email and one-shot links. Keep the files in a workspace, generate a short download link with an expiration date, and send that. The client downloads from your subdomain without creating an account, and a revision is a new link rather than a re-upload. On WebUploads, transfer volume is unlimited on every plan.
How do I receive raw footage from clients?
Send an upload request link. The client or shooter opens it in a browser at your subdomain and drops the files in; no account needed on their end. Links last a year by default, and your team gets an email digest when uploads arrive.
Does WebUploads charge per gigabyte transferred?
No. Plans are flat monthly prices ($12, $29, $149) that meter storage, not transfer. Files sit on Cloudflare R2, which charges nothing for downloads, so unlimited transfer volume is sustainable for us rather than promotional. Platform rate limits apply to prevent abuse.
What should a video production team look for in file sharing?
Three things decide it: whether transfer volume is metered, whether links outlive the client approval cycle, and whether clients and shooters can upload without accounts. File sharing for video production also needs storage sized for footage; WebUploads Business holds 10 TB.
Is 10 TB enough for production work?
For active work, usually. 10 TB keeps months of in-flight projects online while clients review, and the analytics dashboard shows storage trending so you can clear wrapped projects before you hit the line. Treat WebUploads as the live exchange between you and your clients rather than cold storage.
