Know who's reviewed your consulting files
WeTransfer gives you visibility on every transfer the moment it's sent. See how many times your deliverables, audit reports, or proposals have been previewed, and turn on access control to get a named, timestamped log of exactly who looked at what.
Keep count of who views your transfer
Consultants and auditors often need more than a sent confirmation, they need to know a deliverable has actually been reviewed before a deadline or follow-up call. WeTransfer surfaces a preview count on every transfer automatically, so basic engagement is visible without any configuration. When a named record matters, enabling access control switches on a per-recipient log showing who opened the transfer and when, which is useful for tracking engagement on proposals, audit packs, or compliance submissions. You can also enable download tracking independently to confirm who saved a copy of your files. Everything is organized in your transfer list, so the record is there when a client disputes receipt or a manager asks for confirmation.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Yes. Every transfer includes a preview count that updates in real time, visible to the sender from their account without any setup. If you need to know which specific recipient viewed the transfer, enabling access control (tracked or restricted mode) adds a per-recipient log showing names and timestamps, which is particularly useful when you need a clear record for a client engagement or audit trail.
No, previews do not trigger email notifications. The preview count and per-recipient activity log are visible in your transfer list inside your account, so you check them at your own pace rather than receiving an alert each time. If confirmation of a download is more relevant to your workflow, you can enable download tracking separately, which does log activity you can reference.
Recipients can preview PDFs, Word and Excel documents, PowerPoint presentations, images (including JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and HEIC), audio files, and videos directly in the browser. For consulting and audit work, this means clients can review a report or proposal in full before deciding whether to download it, and each preview is counted and, with access control enabled, attributed to a named recipient.
They are separate signals. View tracking records each time a recipient opens the transfer preview, while download tracking, which must be explicitly enabled by the sender, records who actually saved the files and when. For audit professionals, running both gives a more complete picture: you can see whether a document was opened, and separately confirm whether it was retained.
On a free account, transfers expire after a maximum of 3 days, after which the view data is no longer accessible. On the Ultimate plan and above, you can set a custom expiry date or choose no expiry at all, meaning transfers and their associated view logs remain available indefinitely unless you delete them. For longer consulting engagements or audit records that span weeks or months, the Ultimate plan is worth considering.
