Track who's opened your construction project files
When you send drawings, specs, or site reports to clients and contractors, you need to know they've been seen, not just delivered. WeTransfer shows you who previewed your files and who downloaded them, giving you a clear picture of engagement before your next site meeting or deadline.
Keep count of who views your transfer
Construction teams share a lot of time-sensitive material: bid packages, structural drawings, RFIs, and progress reports that need to reach the right people before decisions get made. WeTransfer records both preview and download activity for every transfer, so you can see at a glance whether a contractor opened your files in the browser or pulled them down to their machine. Enable download tracking before you send and each access event is tied to a verified email address and an exact timestamp, which means your follow-up calls are grounded in facts rather than guesswork. If you're sharing sensitive documents like contract terms or unreleased tender submissions, restricted access lets you limit a transfer to a specific list of email addresses, so only the people you've named can reach the files. Everything arrives exactly as you sent it, with no compression or quality loss, whether you're sharing large-format PDFs, CAD files, or a full set of architectural drawings.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Yes. WeTransfer tracks preview activity and downloads as separate events, so you can see whether someone opened your drawings or specifications in the browser or pulled the full files down to their machine. Both actions are logged in your Transfers panel with a verified email address and a precise timestamp, giving you two distinct signals for each transfer you send.
Before you click send, enable download tracking in the transfer settings panel. Once it's on, every access event is tied to the recipient's verified email address and recorded with an exact date and time. You can check the activity from your Transfers panel at any point after sending, without having to ask the contractor whether they've looked at the files.
Yes. Restricted access lets you limit a transfer to a named list of email addresses, so anyone outside that list cannot reach the files even if they have the link. This is useful for unreleased bid submissions, commercial terms, or any document that should stay within a defined project team. You can manage the access list from your transfer details page after sending, and changes take effect immediately.
Yes. When download tracking is enabled, WeTransfer records each access event individually, tied to the email address of the person who opened or downloaded the transfer. So if three subcontractors receive the same link, you can see exactly who engaged and when, rather than just knowing the file was accessed at some point.
WeTransfer supports any file type, including PDFs, CAD files, ZIP archives, Office documents, and large-format images, with no re-encoding or quality loss. Files arrive exactly as you uploaded them, which matters when a contractor needs to open a drawing in their own software without worrying about whether something changed in transit. Free accounts send up to 3 GB per transfer, while paid plans remove that cap entirely for larger project packages.
