See exactly who downloaded your Photoshop files

When you send PSD files to a client or creative partner, the handoff isn't complete until you know the files landed. WeTransfer shows you the download status for every transfer, with per-recipient detail on email deliveries so you always know where things stand.

Keep tabs on your transfer's downloaders

Photoshop files often carry work that's tied to a deadline, a review, or a client approval, and knowing the files were actually picked up saves you a follow-up message. WeTransfer records download activity for every transfer you send, and your Transfers panel reflects the current status whenever you check. For email deliveries, each recipient gets their own status so you can tell at a glance who has collected the files and who hasn't opened them yet. If you want a more precise audit trail, you can enable Access Control before sending: anyone who opens your link verifies their email first, and you get a notification each time a download happens. Restricted downloads takes it further, letting you tie the transfer to a list of approved addresses so your layered PSDs and source assets only reach the people they were made for.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Open the Transfers panel in your account and find the transfer you sent. If you used email delivery, each recipient shows their own downloaded or not yet downloaded status, so you can see exactly whose copy has been collected. For link transfers, the panel shows whether the files have been downloaded at all.


Basic download status is recorded automatically for all transfers, no setup needed. If you want deeper visibility, like a notification each time someone downloads and a timestamped record of who accessed the files, you can enable Access Control in the transfer settings before you send. This asks anyone opening the link to verify their email address first.


Yes. Before sending, you can enable Restricted downloads under Access Control and specify a list of approved email addresses. Anyone who opens the link will need to verify their email, and access is only granted if their address matches your list. It's a practical layer of protection for unreleased artwork, client-specific compositions, or confidential design files.


WeTransfer sends files in their original format without re-encoding, compressing, or modifying them in any way. Your Photoshop files, including all layers, smart objects, and embedded assets, arrive on the other end exactly as you uploaded them. Recipients can also preview supported file types in the browser before downloading, so they can confirm they have the right files without opening Photoshop first.


Yes. WeTransfer supports folder uploads, so recipients download everything with the original folder structure intact. Download tracking works the same way regardless of the number of files or folders in the transfer, and Access Control is available on all plans if you want per-download notifications alongside the basic status view.
