The fast process delivers results very quickly. > > **Cons**: This service is not well known to customers. It is hard to convince them to use it. I think it won't be much problem once they use and experience it. > > While there's room for improvement in some areas, LimeWire represents a successful reinvention of a once-controversial brand into a legitimate and useful creative service that continues to evolve with regular updates and new features. ----- ### "Ease of use, lack of mobile app" — 5.0/5 > **Fil** | *21 April 2025* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Im a photographer - The ease in uploading and sharing photos to my clients > > **Cons**: If anything, its just a lack of an app to quickly access files while out and about > > I find that it is a simple and easy interface, and it has a lot of options for sharing. ----- ### "Limewire is an intuitive, drag and drop file transfer system that simply works\!" — 5.0/5 > **Mike** | *16 January 2026* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It handles large files that Google can't transfer, it's secure and really simple to use. I like the intuitive layout. > > **Cons**: Nothing, really. I can transfer 4gb for free, and if I have bigger files, it's fair to pay for that. > > So simple to use. Drag and drop, secure transfer and I know when it has been received and downloaded. ----- ### "Best File Share and Download" — 5.0/5 > **Richard** | *17 May 2025* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: My business as a photographer requires that I transfer gigabytes of files to client and I use LimeWire to fulfill that need. There are several aspects of this site that make this very easy to do. Uploads: I like the ease of use and the user interface. The drag and drop works well and if you segment your files into well named sub-folders, your upload gets a meaningful title for your clients. I like the dynamic upload status so you are aware of where you are in the upload. Uploading is a snap with the drag and drop interface. Functionally for my clients, I like the gallery view that is presented where they can look at the gallery as a whole or individually in sequence. Downloads: This also applies to the downloads which they can do individually or as a whole folder. It's handy to be able to download a single file or all at once and view the entire gallery singly or all at once. Overall, LimeWire is simple to use and does the job. What more could you want. > > **Cons**: I haven't been able to find an area that shows your current status with regards to used file space. Also, using some of the tools (Image to vector, convert to pdf, upscale image) comes at a price but that is not a concern for me as my main use is file transfer. > > My experience thus far has been excellent. It does what it says with ease and it provides a professional interface for my clients. ----- ### "Already sold, just need to fix up a couple things..." — 3.0/5 > **Bob** | *4 April 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's free, the interface is nice, and they give you a generous free file size limit of 4GB. Plus it's all legal content now, as they filter out the bad things that used to plague the platform. > > **Cons**: You can't customize the shared files link, they don't give you direct download links (links that will download the file as soon as the webpage loads), you need an account for most things, uploading is kinda slow sometimes (could just be my internet though), you need credits to use the AI features (surely having some basic ones for free wouldn't hurt, right?), but despite all the grievances I have here this is a very nice platform\! It seems they've turned over a new leaf, and this is cracking guys\! > > It's a nicely interfaced website with easy-to-use features and good sharing options. Despite missing some functionality to separate it from the competition, LimeWire is actually quite nice\! ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/1073008/LimeWire?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/1073008/LimeWire) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
