Is WeTransfer safe?

[marty1990]

The hosting/email transfer site thing, how safe is it?

I in-putted a friends email, and was hesitant to use my own personal email so used my universities email address, selected the files I wanted to send from my desktop and it's uploading now.

Is WeTransfer safe, or is anything... erm... compromised?

What did the privacy policy say?

It can't hurt to encrypt the data first using software like TrueCrypt. Then even if the file gets viewed by a 3rd party, it won't matter.

I use TrueCrypt along with passwords generated by this website

It was only images I sent through, stuff that was far too big to be sent through emails. Just a bit concerned about WeTransfer doing something to my Mac?

Never heard of them but I dont think you should have a problem .

Use them very frequently at work, seems like a great service to me.

I am using MailChimp for sending bulk emails for marketing my business. I don't have any experience with this.
