CEO Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "LimeWire Excellence" December 17, 2024 5.0 My overall experience with LimeWire has been excellent, LimeWire makes sharing files simple and easy… and the best part about it is LimeWire doesn’t require you to login or signup to share files. Pros I like how I can share files easily and I can share the files I upload as a link or QR code, the QR code is an amazing feature to have for sharing files. Cons I liked least that the image enhancer is only available on paid membership plans. Switched from [WeTransfer](https://www.capterra.com/p/176600/WeTransfer/) LimeWire is much simpler than the competing products in the File Sharing space. Review Source JH James H. Visual Effects Artist Broadcast Media Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Give Limewire a shot" June 24, 2025 5.0 So far, so good. It has served very reliably so far, and I am quite pleased with the results. I send a lot of files, and Limewire will more than likely become my "go to" to accomplish that Pros Ease of use. It has more reliable features than others I've tried, and I'm not bombarded with art pieces/advertisements, as with other providers, which, while colorful, can sometimes be distracting. Cons Actually, the cons are more "preferential" for me, as I would have liked to have a bit more control over the "look" Review Source MG Misty G. Ceo Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Limewire Rocks" June 21, 2025 5.0 So far so good. I am a basic member so excited to become a premium member. There are way more features on there. Pros They have all the music I want and like They have a Little bit of everything . Software images and so much more Cons Its not very user friendly. The old lime wire was way better so much easier to use and easy to make cdS. Review Source OE Omar E. Video Editor Media Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Honest Review" May 6, 2025 5.0 Perfect video content creators, social media specialists and video editors. It has been very helpful and so far getting better than competitors Pros That its free, easy to use, allows 4GB and can share the download URL before the upload is done. its very convenient. Cons That until now I cannot find an app for it on google play, as an android user. Would be so much mobile if there is an app for it... Switched from [WeTransfer](https://www.capterra.com/p/176600/WeTransfer/) The new limitations they have added to free users, I couldn't get a budget to pay the premium. Review Source CR Calvin R. Owner and Director of Photography Motion Pictures and Film Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "My Ups and Downs of LimeWire" May 20, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with LimeWire is pretty good. It has worked flawless for me and has done what I needed it to do. Pros The ability to send big files to clients with the ease of just dragging and dropping them into the website. Cons The layout is a bit confusing at times when utilizing the AI features and you are trying. To go back to sending files. Switched from [WeTransfer](https://www.capterra.com/p/176600/WeTransfer/) Because WeTransfer started only working on pro. And doesn't offer any other features besides sending files. Review Source SM Syre M. Solutions Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best On The Market" May 11, 2025 5.0 5 star ⭐. Smooth, reliable platform with standout free features and clear upgrade value. Pros The user interface is clean and easy to navigate. One of my favorite features is how it handles multiple file uploads — you can track each file's progress individually, which is really helpful. Compared to other platforms I have tried, the free version of Livewire stands out. It offers more functionality upfront, so you get real value before ever needing to upgrade. That transparency gives you confidence in what you are paying for if you decide to go premium. Cons There is nothing i can think of so far. I probably need more time using the service. Switched from [WeTransfer](https://www.capterra.com/p/176600/WeTransfer/) WeTransfer was now too expensive, and their basic features where now too basic. Review Source CL Chono L. Communication Specialist Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "LiamWire is a Great Option for File Sharing" March 22, 2026 5.0 It has been very good overall. I’ve really enjoyed using the tool, especially for sharing files with other organisations. I would rate it 9 out of 10. Pros I like that we can see how many times a file has been downloaded when we send it. Another useful feature is the ability to set how long the file will be available before it is automatically deleted. Cons The tool has limited access under the free plan, which can be challenging compared to other tools like Google Drive. While it is similar to Google Drive, Google Drive offers a wider range of services. If all features were available for free, this tool could be even more competitive. Switched from [SwissTransfer](https://www.capterra.com/p/233931/SwissTransfer/) The app works inconsistently in my country. Sometimes it’s accessible, but other times it isn’t. Even within the country, some people can access it while others cannot. Review Source LN LUCKY N. Engineering Student Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Rating LimeWire" April 18, 2025 5.0 It was the best easy to transfer files from one device to other. Pros Fast file sharing which make it easy for me to share files without logging with mail id in college pc Cons There's nothing to be least liked about LimeWire. The ease of sharing files makes it worth it. Review Source Bogdan V. Admin Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Reliable and Efficient Tool for Creatives" July 5, 2025 5.0 LimeWire has become an essential part of my content creation process. The platform is stable, uploads are fast, and sharing files with my team is seamless. It eliminates unnecessary steps and helps us stay on schedule. Pros Ease of use, can quickly upload and share data with my video editor. The interface is clean, intuitive, and saves me a lot of time during post-production workflows. Cons Would love to see a sync tool that can mirror a folder locally on mac / windows. My editor would love it for his workflow. Review Source PS Phil S. Partner Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Limewire review" June 4, 2025 4.0 I came to LimeWire via a recommendation and found it very easy to get started - the clear screen layout helps a lot here. Pros Ease of use – simple drag & drop or 'select folder' functionality makes uploading quick and straightforward. Cons File expiration of 1 week with free service - as some people I send files to work away from the office some of the time, a little longer would be appreciated Switched from [WeTransfer](https://www.capterra.com/p/176600/WeTransfer/) Wetransfer now has data transfer limits for free accounts Review Source Marek J. TV online Video Editor Media Production Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "LimeWire is working great as a file-share service - my real experience with clients" January 1, 2025 5.0 Working great as a file-share service. Much better than WeTransfer, which was my first choice until I switch to LimeWire. Pros As a professional video editor of unscripted TV shows for the biggest TV broadcasters I send preview files of my editing sessions to my clients for review. I\`ve started using LimeWire for this purpose over month ago, and it\`s doing great! What I like most in LimeWire: - easy to share links with my clients, - 4TB is plenty for sending preview files for reviews, - tracking downloads is great to have. Now I know if my clients even downloaded my work for reviews. As for now I didn\`t use built-in AI tools, but it is good to have them just in case. Specially music generator is a thing! Cons \- didn\`t noticed so far, but cons may be exposed later on. Switched from [WeTransfer](https://www.capterra.com/p/176600/WeTransfer/) WeTransfer free plan is very limited. Low file size limit and to short period for download files. Review Source MS Marija S. Architect Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great software " June 6, 2025 5.0 It did what it supposed to do and I'm pleased. It has more power than most of the competition software Pros It supports sending a lot of Gb for free and it keeps it for a decent amount of time. I was glad to see it's still operating Cons The interface is a bit overwhelming and noise. It took me a while to figure out if the file was sent. Switched from [WeTransfer](https://www.capterra.com/p/176600/WeTransfer/) It did not support the size of the files i need to send Review Source RN Rehan N.

Here's a complete overview of what users typically experience: Pros LimeWire is more about helping creators monetize content through blockchain, rather than free file sharing. Cons Monetization content, empower creators, user friendly interface, web3+ NFT integration, Direct Fan Support. Review Source rB roger B.

Users can send and receive encrypted files globally, maintaining full control over their data and taking advantage of a scalable and secure infrastructure. Cons There are no things that I can like less than others, everything is surprisingly so positive that it is difficult to find fault with this platform Review Source KC Kevin C. NA Program Development Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "5-Star review from a new but satisfied user of LimeWire" June 9, 2025 5.0 Overall, a delightful and positive experience! It takes only a few minutes total to transfer about 600 MB. Keep up the good work. Pros It is free and I don't remember any ads blocking my view and usage of the LimeWire screen. It allows for large file transfers between 2 computer or other devices. Gmail, although I have a great opinion of it, only has about a 25 MB limit for attachments, while LimeWire supports file sizes of over 500 MB (I don't know of the upper limit). It is very simple to upload a file, receive a URL that is sent to the recipient(s), and also east for whoever is sent that link -- to then download on their computer or smartphone. Cons The only thing I can think of, was when I chose the option to send the intended recipient, after I clicked the button, there was no message stating that that person had received the email from LimeWire inviting them to download the file(s).

Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best file transfer service by far" June 13, 2025 5.0 Sometimes I need to transfer files and documents to clients and colleagues. I have used many different tools and services. So now I can say that this is one of the best file transfer services I have used so far. Pros \- Simple UI - Provides fast upload & download speeds - Transfer files wirelessly - Dynamic Expiration - Add/Edit files after uploading - The free plan is still enough Cons I haven't found anything I don't like yet. However, sometimes, I upload a file and it doesn't appear. It seems like there's an issue. But it still allows you to create a share link, and when the user opens the link, nothing shows. Switched from [WeTransfer](https://www.capterra.com/p/176600/WeTransfer/) WeTransfer has made changes to their product that no longer meet my requirements. Review Source GM Gros M.

March 30, 2025 5.0 I am a photographer and I send my clients' photos through the LimeWire application. Uploading photos is relatively fast (it would be ideal if it could be even faster :) ) Downloading is intuitive and fast Pros Easy to operate and intuitive. Once you make an account, all your work, everything you upload is structured. Cons If you upload photos, you cannot browse from one photo to another on the viewing page.

" April 20, 2025 5.0 I love how the platform has evolved over the years and is becoming the force in the industry with LMW tokens and all and will drive future of AI. Pros I am a big fan of the anonymous file sharing facility. There are times when discretion has to be used in file sharing and Limewire does it best. Cons Not much to dislike. I have used it a few times and love it. May be the Lime green colour can be deepened a bit.

It gave me great releif and if I had the opportunity I would love to give Limewire more attention for future projects. Pros It responded to specific details that I outlined for a project that was due for my end of year for my final year in college. Cons It wouldn't apply colour to a line up that had attempted to colour in twice, i thought it would do it like other generators such as KREA or the fabricant.
