See who's viewed your shared files

WeTransfer shows you exactly how your transfers are performing. Every transfer comes with a built-in preview count, and you can go deeper with per-recipient tracking to see who opened your files and when.

Keep count of who views your transfer

When you share files through WeTransfer, you never have to wonder if they were seen. A preview count is visible on every transfer by default, so you can tell at a glance whether a client has opened your proposal or a collaborator has looked at your assets. For more detail, enabling access control on a transfer gives you a per-recipient log showing exactly who previewed the files and when. Download tracking is also available if you want to know who saved the files, not just who looked. Whether you're following up on a client delivery or checking engagement on a time-sensitive project, the information is right there in your transfer list.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Yes, every transfer includes a preview count that updates automatically. You can see it directly from your transfer list without enabling anything extra. It reflects how many times the transfer was opened for preview, across all recipients.


Yes, but you need to enable access control on the transfer first. In tracked or restricted mode, WeTransfer logs each recipient who previewed the files, along with the time they opened it. This gives you a clear picture of engagement per person rather than a single combined number.


View tracking (the preview count) is always on and tells you how many times someone opened your transfer to look at the files in-browser. Download tracking is separate and must be turned on by the sender. It records who actually downloaded the files and when, so you can see both who looked and who saved.


No. Checking your transfer's preview count or viewing the recipient log is invisible to the people you shared with. Previewing a transfer does not trigger an email notification to the sender either, so the tracking is passive on both sides.


Yes. Restricted access lets you limit a transfer to specific email addresses, so only those people can open it. When you combine that with access control, you get a log showing exactly when each of those recipients previewed the files. It's useful for confidential work like contracts, proposals, or unreleased creative projects.
