Share course documents with a simple drag and drop
Drag your documents onto the WeTransfer homepage and the upload begins straight away. Whether you're distributing syllabuses, lecture notes, or assignment briefs, there's nothing to configure — add recipients or copy a shareable link, and your files are on their way.
Uploading made effortless
Educators and students spend enough time on admin without wrestling with file-sharing tools. WeTransfer lets you drop documents directly onto the homepage and the upload starts immediately, no software to install and no account required for the people receiving your files. Every document arrives exactly as you sent it — formatting intact, no conversion, no quality loss — so PDFs, Word files, spreadsheets, and presentation decks all reach their destination ready to use. Recipients can open a browser preview of supported document types before downloading, which is handy when you want students to check a file before pulling it down. You can also password-protect any transfer or restrict access to a specific list of email addresses, so confidential materials only reach the right people.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Open wetransfer.com in your browser, then drag your documents — syllabuses, worksheets, lecture slides, or PDFs — directly onto the page. The upload begins the moment the files land, before you've even typed a recipient's address. Once they're uploaded, you can send directly to students' inboxes or grab a shareable link to post in your learning management system or class group.
Yes. Recipients can preview PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint files, spreadsheets, and several other formats directly in the browser without downloading anything first. This is particularly useful in education — students can check whether a file is the right version or read through a short document on the spot. They can also leave comments on individual files in the preview, so feedback flows both ways.
No account is needed to download or preview a transfer. Students simply open the link or click the download button in the notification email, and the files are theirs. This removes a common barrier in classroom settings where asking students to sign up for yet another platform causes friction.
Yes. You can drag an entire folder onto the WeTransfer homepage and it uploads with the original folder structure preserved. When students download, they get the same organized layout you sent — useful for distributing module packs, reading lists, or assignment bundles where the folder hierarchy matters.
On a free account, you can send up to 3 GB per transfer, up to 10 transfers per rolling 30-day window, and download links stay active for up to 3 days. If your institution needs to send larger document packages, run more transfers per month, or keep links live for the full duration of a course, upgrading to the Ultimate plan removes the per-transfer size cap, gives you unlimited transfers, and lets you set custom expiry dates or keep transfers active indefinitely.
