Often sending to non-technical people and this I have found is the easiest solution they understand. Click and download.

Would use Google Drive but it makes the download process rather complicated and non-obvious.

Wetransfer is a cancer. In my organisation I keep being called because the links are expired and people haven't downloaded the files. They also use it for sensitive information (links are sent through clear text mail).

We have NAS for local file transfer but the convenience of Wetransfer trumps that.

How did they manage to set-up a NAS that is less convenient than WeTransfer?
Well. Users don't actually know what a file is. They can click on buttons in webpages but crawling their way through networked drives is too much.
