DoT restricts file transfer tool We Transfer
By MYBRANDBOOK
The Department of Telecom (DoT) has banned We Transfer, file sharing tool in the country. The service is not accessible to people on select mobile network as well as Internet service providers (ISPs). DoT ordered all ISPs to ban three specific website URLs, including WeTransfer.
WeTransfer allows people to send heavy files using their email ID, even mail attachments for Gmail. With WeTransfer, users can send files up to 2GB without having to create an account for that. It is available in both free and paid versions.
DoT hasn't mentioned the specific reason for banning the platform, but it's being considered the website was used to transfer illegal items, which is likely to have triggered the action. Banning platform like WeTransfer doesn't make a lot of sense, especially when the company has no clue about the kind of content that people are sharing. These are merely considered as carriers of the message/file, and putting them at fault, and banning them is an extreme action that could have been avoided.
WeTransfer is a god-sent tool in the lockdown period, and now we have to now look for other free alternatives to get their work done. People on Vodafone Idea, Reliance Jio and Airtel were not able to access WeTransfer.
