Send spreadsheets and see exactly who opens them
WeTransfer keeps a record of download activity for every transfer you send. Deliver spreadsheets to clients or colleagues and check your Transfers panel to see what's been picked up, with per-recipient status on email deliveries so you never have to guess whether the right person has the file.
Keep tabs on your transfer's downloaders
When a spreadsheet contains financial data, a proposal, or a project budget, confirmation of delivery is part of the job. WeTransfer shows download activity for all your sent transfers directly from your account, so you can see at a glance whether a file has been collected or is still waiting. Email transfers track each recipient individually, updating their status the moment they download, which makes following up on outstanding deliveries straightforward. If you want a more detailed record, you can enable Access Control before sending: anyone who opens your link verifies their email address first, and you receive a notification each time a download takes place. For sensitive figures or confidential reports, Restricted downloads locks the transfer to a specific list of approved email addresses, so your spreadsheet reaches only the people it was meant for.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Open your Transfers panel and find the transfer you sent. For email deliveries, a status indicator appears next to each recipient's email address once they download, and hovering over it shows the exact date and time. If your client hasn't downloaded yet, the status simply stays at 'Not yet downloaded' so you know when a follow-up makes sense.
Basic download tracking is available to all users and requires no setup, but detailed per-download notifications need Access Control to be enabled before you send. With Tracked downloads switched on, anyone who opens your link verifies their email address first, and you receive a notification each time the transfer is downloaded. You can enable this in the transfer settings panel before clicking Transfer.
Yes. Before sending, enable Restricted downloads in the transfer settings and add the email addresses of the people you want to grant access to. When someone opens the link, they must verify their email address, and access is only granted if they match your list. This is particularly useful for financial reports, pricing documents, or any spreadsheet that shouldn't circulate beyond a defined group.
WeTransfer sends files in their original state with no compression or modification, so an Excel workbook, CSV, or Google Sheets export arrives exactly as you uploaded it. Formulas, formatting, and embedded data are all preserved. Recipients can also preview supported document formats like XLSX directly in the browser before downloading, so they can confirm they have the right file without opening a separate application.
The Transfers panel shows download activity for all active transfers in your account, including ones you sent in the past, so you can check the status of an older spreadsheet delivery at any time. Detailed per-download notifications from Access Control, however, must be set before sending and cannot be added to a transfer after it has already gone out.
