Comparisons
When a library beats a transfer, a drive, a shop, or a pledge.
Fair notes on WeTransfer, Drive, Dropbox, Gumroad, Payhip, SendOwl, Patreon, and other transfer or shop tools.
A transfer tool sends a package and walks away. A drive is for collaboration. A shop is a catalogue. A pledge platform is for 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.
