Comparisons

When a library beats a transfer, a drive, or a pledge.

Fair notes on WeTransfer, Google Drive, Dropbox, TransferNow, FromSmash, Filemail, Hightail, MediaFire, DropSend, and Patreon.

A transfer tool sends a package and walks away. A drive is for collaboration. A pledge platform is for ongoing patrons. Spike is a folder that can preview, protect, and take payment on the same link.

Each comparison is a fair note on when the other product still fits, and when a library is the better job.
