gatedpage vs. WeTransfer
WeTransfer transfers files once. gatedpage gives your team a home for them.
WeTransfer links expire after 7 days and always download. gatedpage gives your HTML prototype a permanent live URL — private to your @company.com team, auto-created when you sign in with Google.
Side-by-side comparison
Sound familiar?
- —You send a link via WeTransfer and it expires a week later — the colleague opens it in an old email and sees 'transfer expired.'
- —WeTransfer links always prompt a download. There's no way to share an HTML prototype that opens as a live page.
- —Every update to the prototype means a new WeTransfer link — old links in Slack threads become stale.
- —WeTransfer has no concept of a team or @company.com workspace — anyone who gets the link can access the file.
gatedpage solves all of this. Drop the file, get a link that stays up.
What gatedpage does differently
Live pages, not downloads
gatedpage gives HTML prototypes a URL where they render in the browser. WeTransfer always prompts a download — there's no way to share an HTML file that opens live.
Links that don't expire
gatedpage links stay live as long as your workspace exists. WeTransfer free links expire after 7 days — not ideal when your manager bookmarks a prototype.
Your company workspace, auto-created
Sign in with Google and gatedpage auto-creates yourcompany.gated.page. Colleagues click the link, sign in with Google, and auto-join — no new transfer, no new link.
Private to your @company.com team
Only colleagues with a @company.com Google account can open your links. Unlike WeTransfer, there's no risk of the link working for anyone who gets forwarded it.
What your team shares with gatedpage
- HTML prototypes built in Claude or Copilot — with a link that doesn't expire
- Campaign previews your team can review and re-open weeks later
- Dashboard drafts that stay live at the same URL through every iteration
- One-page briefs your manager can bookmark and return to
- AI-generated reports that render live, not as downloads
Common questions
What happens when a WeTransfer link expires?
WeTransfer free links expire after 7 days — after that, anyone who clicks gets a 'transfer expired' error. gatedpage links stay live as long as your workspace exists, and your team workspace persists indefinitely.
Can WeTransfer host HTML as a live webpage?
No. WeTransfer is a file transfer service — recipients always download the file. gatedpage serves HTML files as live webpages that run in the browser without any download.
Does my team need a WeTransfer account to use gatedpage?
No. Colleagues sign in with their @company.com Google account and automatically join your gatedpage workspace. No WeTransfer account, no new sign-up, no IT setup.
Can I update a prototype without creating a new link?
Yes. Push an update to the same gatedpage project and the link stays the same. WeTransfer creates a new link for every new transfer — meaning broken links in old Slack threads and emails.
Share links that stay live — and open in the browser.
Sign in with Google and gatedpage auto-creates your company workspace. Drop a file, get a live link — only your @company.com team can open it.
