Comparison
ARVENS vs WeTransfer
WeTransfer is the go-to service for quickly sending heavy files. No account, no install, direct link by email. For occasional sharing to a trusted recipient, WeTransfer is ideal. For professional sharing of a flagship property, several pieces are missing.
In one sentence
WeTransfer transfers files. ARVENS frames, contracts, traces and legally archives the sharing.
What WeTransfer doesn't cover
WeTransfer offers no digital NDA — you send the file, the recipient opens it, end of story. Audit is minimal: download date only, no IP, no city, no device. Revocation is partial: if the recipient already downloaded, the file is on their machine. No legal PDF report. And the default expiration is 7 days, with no customization for the longer durations of a real estate transaction.

Verdict
WeTransfer is built for sending speed. ARVENS is built for the legal rigor of off-market sharing. The two tools don't oppose each other — they serve different use cases.
Frequently asked questions
Is WeTransfer Pro with password and expiration enough?
WeTransfer Pro adds password, custom expiration and custom logo. But no enforceable NDA, no IP/city/device audit, no legal report. For a quick send between trusted colleagues, it's enough. For an outside buyer, no.
Can I attach the NDA on WeTransfer?
Yes, but with no technical enforcement: your buyer can download the photos without having signed. ARVENS blocks access until explicit acceptance — that's the difference between a good intention and legal evidence.
Why not email a WeTransfer link plus a DocuSign signature?
It works, but with three disconnected tools: email, WeTransfer, DocuSign. The chain of evidence is fragmented. ARVENS unifies sharing, acceptance, audit and legal report in a single timestamped PDF.

Transfer is no longer enough as soon as legal stakes appear.
