Share lecture videos with a simple drag and drop
Uploading course videos to WeTransfer takes no preparation. Drag your files onto the homepage, watch the upload begin on its own, then send directly to students or colleagues by email or grab a link to post wherever your class lives online.
Uploading made effortless
Educators spending time on clunky upload tools are spending time away from teaching, and WeTransfer is designed to get out of your way. Pull a video file from your desktop and drop it onto the WeTransfer homepage — the upload starts immediately, before you have added a single recipient or made any other choice. Every video reaches its destination in its original quality, with no re-encoding and no resolution loss, so a recorded lecture, a field trip documentary, or a student film project arrives exactly as it was captured. Students and colleagues can preview supported video formats directly in the browser before committing to a download, which is useful when you have shared several clips and they only need one. You can also protect sensitive content by adding a password to any transfer, or restrict downloads to a specific list of email addresses, giving you control over who can access your material.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Open the WeTransfer homepage in your browser, then drag your video files straight onto the upload area. The upload begins the moment the files land — no configuration steps, no software to install, nothing to fill in before things start moving. Once the upload finishes, you can send the link directly to a class email list or copy a shareable URL to paste into your learning management system.
No. WeTransfer sends every file in its original format without re-encoding, resampling, or compressing the content. A 4K screen recording, a high-resolution lecture capture, or a student-produced short film all arrive exactly as they were saved on your machine. What you upload is what your students download.
Yes. Recipients can watch supported video formats directly in the browser without downloading anything first, which is handy when you have uploaded multiple clips and students only need a specific session. They can also leave comments on individual files in the preview, making it straightforward for students to ask questions or for colleagues to give feedback on a recording before it is finalised.
No account is needed to download or preview a transfer. Your recipients just click the link or the button in the notification email and they can access the files straight away. Only the person sending the transfer needs a free WeTransfer account, which is created automatically the first time you send.
On a free account you can send up to 3 GB per transfer, which covers many standard lecture recordings and short video projects. If your school or department regularly works with larger files — high-resolution productions, multi-camera recordings, or extended course content — WeTransfer Ultimate removes the per-transfer size cap entirely, with no limit on transfer size. You can also drag in a whole folder at once and recipients will receive it with the original folder structure intact.
