See exactly when your video footage gets downloaded
When you send video footage through WeTransfer, download activity is tracked automatically. Your Transfers panel gives you a clear picture of what's been received, and for email deliveries, each recipient has their own status so you can confirm who has the footage without sending a follow-up message.
Keep tabs on your transfer's downloaders
Delivering video footage to a client, director, or post-production team means you need to know the files actually arrived. WeTransfer records download activity for every transfer you send, so you can check your Transfers panel at any time to see whether your footage has been picked up. For email transfers, each recipient gets an individual status that updates the moment they download, complete with the exact time, giving you a per-person confirmation across the whole delivery. If you want a more active layer of visibility, enabling Access Control before you send means anyone who opens your link first verifies their email address, and you receive a notification each time a download takes place. For rushes, rough cuts, or anything confidential, Restricted downloads goes a step further, tying your transfer to a named list of approved email addresses so the footage only reaches the people it's meant for.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Yes. Your Transfers panel shows the download status for every transfer you send. For email deliveries, you get a per-recipient status that updates the moment each person downloads, along with the exact date and time, so you know precisely when your footage was picked up.
You need to enable Access Control before sending. With Tracked downloads switched on, anyone who opens your transfer link first verifies their email address, and WeTransfer sends you a notification each time a download happens, including who downloaded and when. This setting has to be enabled by you before the transfer is sent.
Yes. When creating your transfer, you can enable Restricted downloads and add a list of approved email addresses. Only people on that list can open the files, so raw footage, client edits, or unreleased material stays with the intended recipients and no one else.
No. WeTransfer sends files exactly as they are, with no re-encoding, no compression, and no resolution loss, including 4K footage. The file your recipient downloads is bit-for-bit identical to the one you uploaded.
Yes. Recipients can watch a browser-based preview of MP4 and MOV files directly on the transfer page without downloading anything first. They can also leave comments on individual files and mark favorites, which makes it easy to gather feedback on cuts or selects before anyone pulls down the full footage.
