See exactly who downloaded your engineering files
When you send technical documents, specifications, or CAD files to colleagues, contractors, or clients, knowing the files were actually picked up matters. WeTransfer tracks download activity on every transfer, giving engineering teams clear visibility over who has received critical materials and who still needs a nudge.
Keep tabs on your transfer's downloaders
Engineering work depends on precise handoffs. Whether you are distributing drawings, site reports, structural calculations, or tender packages, WeTransfer records download activity the moment a recipient collects your files and surfaces that status directly in your Transfers panel. For email transfers, each recipient is tracked individually, so when a package goes to several engineers or project stakeholders, you can see at a glance who has their copy and who has not. When you need a verifiable record of access, such as for compliance-sensitive documentation or formal submissions, enabling Access Control before you send requires every downloader to verify their email address first, and you receive a notification each time the transfer is accessed. For documents that must stay within a defined team, Restricted downloads ties the transfer to a list of approved addresses so sensitive materials only reach the people you specified.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Open your Transfers panel and find the relevant transfer. Each email transfer shows a per-recipient download status, including the exact date and time the files were collected. If you sent the same package to several people on a project, you can see each person's status individually without needing to ask anyone to confirm receipt.
Basic download tracking is available on all plans and shows whether a transfer has been downloaded and when. For detailed, notification-based tracking where you receive an alert every time someone opens your link, you need to enable Access Control (Tracked downloads) before sending. This prompts each recipient to verify their email address, and you get a timestamped notification for every download.
Yes. WeTransfer supports any file type, including CAD, 3D models, BIM files, and large ZIP archives, and download tracking works the same regardless of file type or size. Files are delivered in their original quality with no compression or re-encoding, so your engineering data arrives exactly as you uploaded it.
You can enable Restricted downloads when setting up a transfer, which ties access to a specific list of email addresses you provide. Anyone who opens the link must verify their email, and only addresses on your approved list are granted access. This is useful for pre-tender documents, proprietary calculations, or any file that should not circulate beyond the intended team.
Yes. When you send a transfer by email to multiple recipients, each person is tracked individually in your Transfers panel. You can see exactly which engineers, site managers, or project stakeholders have downloaded the files and which have not, making follow-up straightforward without a back-and-forth email chain.
