Drag and drop your files straight into class
WeTransfer's homepage is a drag-and-drop upload window built for speed. Pull coursework, project files, or research documents from your desktop, drop them onto the page, and the upload starts on its own — no software to install, no steps to follow before you hit send.
Uploading made effortless
Teachers, students, and administrators constantly move files between people, and WeTransfer keeps that process as simple as dragging files onto a webpage. Drop your materials onto the WeTransfer homepage and uploading begins the moment they land, so you can share assignments, lecture slides, audio recordings, and PDFs without any preamble. Every file travels in its original quality, with no compression or alteration, so scanned documents, high-resolution images, and presentation files arrive exactly as they were created. Recipients can preview supported formats directly in the browser before downloading, letting students or colleagues confirm they have the right file without saving anything to their device first. Anyone receiving a transfer can download without creating an account, which matters in education where not every student or parent will have signed up for yet another platform.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
On the WeTransfer homepage, select your files from your desktop or file explorer and drag them directly onto the upload window — the upload begins the moment they land. You can also click to browse and select files manually if dragging is not convenient. Once the upload is underway, you choose whether to send by email or grab a shareable link, so you can post it to a learning management system, a class chat, or anywhere else your students already check.
WeTransfer handles any file type without alteration, so lecture slides, PDFs, scanned worksheets, audio recordings, video lessons, spreadsheets, CAD files from engineering courses, and ZIP archives of project work all transfer cleanly. Files arrive exactly as they were saved, with no re-encoding or quality loss, which is especially useful for high-resolution graphics or video content created in media or arts programs.
No account is needed to download or preview a transfer. Students click the download link in their email or open a shared URL and get their files straight away, with no sign-up prompt standing in the way. This removes a common barrier in classroom settings where asking every student to register for a new service creates unnecessary friction.
Yes. WeTransfer supports folder uploads, and recipients download the folder with the original structure preserved. For students submitting projects with multiple components, or teachers distributing organised resource packs, this means everything stays grouped the way it was prepared — no manual reassembly on the other end.
With a free account you can send an email transfer to up to 10 recipients at once, which covers most classroom or small-group scenarios. If you use a shareable link instead of email delivery, there is no recipient limit at all, so you can post one link to an entire class without any cap. Free transfers carry up to 3 GB and are available for up to 3 days; paid plans like Ultimate extend both the size and the duration, and remove the monthly transfer quota.
