Yes. WeTransfer records preview activity and download events as two separate signals in your Transfers panel. A recipient can open CAD drawings, PDFs, or specification sheets directly in the browser without downloading, and you'll see both types of engagement independently, so you know exactly how they interacted with your files.

Before clicking Transfer, open the transfer options and enable download tracking. Once active, every download is tied to a verified email address and an exact timestamp, so you have a reliable record of who accessed your files and when. This is especially useful when you need to confirm receipt ahead of a review milestone or sign-off deadline.

Yes. When you send an email transfer, each recipient's download activity is tracked individually, so you can see a checkmark and timestamp against each email address in your transfer details. You'll know at a glance which team members have engaged with the files and who still needs a nudge before the next project meeting.

Yes. Restricted access lets you specify a list of email addresses before sending. When someone opens the transfer link, they must verify their email, and access is only granted if they match your list. For confidential materials like unreleased tender submissions, proprietary calculations, or pre-approval design revisions, this keeps the files with exactly the right people.

WeTransfer handles any file type without modification, including CAD files, 3D models, large-format PDFs, ZIP archives of drawing sets, and Office documents. Files are sent in their original quality with no compression or re-encoding, so what your recipient opens is exactly what you exported, down to the last layer or annotation.
