Know when your audio tracks get downloaded

Every audio transfer you send through WeTransfer comes with download tracking built in. Check your Transfers panel to see whether your files have been picked up, and for email deliveries, each recipient shows their own individual status so you always know exactly where your tracks landed.

Keep tabs on your transfer's downloaders

Sending audio files to a client, a mixing engineer, or a label rep means the delivery itself matters as much as the music. WeTransfer records download activity for every transfer you send, giving you a clear view of what was received and when, straight from your account. Email transfers show a separate status for each recipient, so if you sent stems to three collaborators, you can see who has the files and who still needs a follow-up. For greater visibility on link-based shares, enabling Access Control means anyone who opens your audio link first verifies their email address, with a notification sent to you each time a download happens. If you need tighter control over who can access a session recording or a demo, Restricted downloads ties the transfer to a list of approved email addresses so the audio reaches only the right ears.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Yes. Every transfer you send appears in your Transfers panel with a download status that updates automatically. For email transfers, you can see a per-recipient status, including the exact date and time each person downloaded your audio files, so you always have a clear record of delivery.


Basic download status is available without any extra setup. For detailed per-download notifications, you can turn on Access Control before sending: anyone who opens your link is asked to verify their email first, and you receive a notification each time a download takes place, along with who did it and when.


Yes, using Restricted downloads you can tie a transfer to a named list of email addresses. Anyone who opens your link has to verify their email, and access is only granted if they match your list. It is a practical option for demo reels, unreleased recordings, or any audio you want to keep tightly controlled.


Yes. Recipients can play back MP3 and WAV files directly in their browser without downloading anything first, on web, iOS, and Android. They can also choose to download only the specific files they need from the transfer rather than grabbing everything at once.


No. WeTransfer sends files in their original quality with no re-encoding or compression that alters the audio. Your WAV, AIFF, FLAC, or any other format arrives exactly as you uploaded it, which matters when delivering masters, stems, or lossless session exports.
