Know who's actually looked at your 3D files
Sending 3D models, CAD files, or renders to clients and collaborators tells you nothing on its own. WeTransfer shows you whether each recipient has previewed your files in the browser or downloaded them, so you have real engagement data before your next conversation.
Keep count of who views your transfer
When you share 3D assets, a sent confirmation is rarely enough — you need to know whether the architect, product director, or fabrication partner on the other end actually opened what you delivered. WeTransfer separates in-browser preview activity from full downloads in your Transfers panel, giving you two distinct signals for every transfer you send. Turn on download tracking before you send and each access event is linked to a verified email address with a precise timestamp, so your follow-up is grounded in what genuinely happened rather than assumption. If your 3D files are confidential, such as an unreleased product design or a proprietary structural model, you can restrict the transfer to a specific list of email addresses so only named contacts can reach the files. Every file arrives exactly as exported, with no compression or quality changes, whether you're sending high-polygon renders, CAD assemblies, or large archive packages.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Yes. WeTransfer records preview activity and download events as separate actions in your Transfers panel, so you can distinguish a quick in-browser look from a full file save to device. This distinction is particularly useful with 3D files, where a client might review a render without saving the source geometry, giving you a clearer read on where they are in the decision process.
Before you click Transfer, open the transfer settings and enable download tracking. Once active, every access event on that transfer is tied to a verified email address and a timestamp, which you can review at any time from the Transfers panel. It's worth switching this on before sending large 3D asset packages where knowing who has engaged helps you prioritize follow-ups.
Yes. The restricted access option lets you specify a list of email addresses when setting up your transfer, and only contacts on that list can open the files after verifying their email. For sensitive 3D work such as proprietary CAD models, unreleased product geometry, or architectural drawings under NDA, this keeps the files within the intended audience regardless of where the link ends up.
When you send to multiple recipients via email transfer with download tracking enabled, each access event is attributed to the individual who verified and opened it, so you get a named record per person rather than a combined count. This is useful when distributing 3D deliverables to a team, since you can see which reviewers have engaged and which still need a nudge.
No account is needed on the recipient side. Anyone with the download link can preview supported file types in the browser and download the full package without signing up. Your 3D files, CAD archives, and renders arrive exactly as you exported them, with no re-encoding or quality changes, ready for the recipient to open in their own software.
