Send your first transfer

Keep count of who views your transfer

When you send sensitive financial spreadsheets to clients or colleagues, knowing whether they've been opened is more than a courtesy. WeTransfer logs a preview count on every transfer from the moment it's sent, with no setup required. For a closer look, enabling access control lets you see exactly who previewed your files and when, down to each recipient. You can also lock transfers with a password or restrict access to specific email addresses, keeping your data in front of only the right people. Finance professionals can send spreadsheets in their original format with no compression, so formulas, formatting, and figures stay exactly as intended.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Yes. Every transfer shows a preview count automatically, so you can always see how many times your spreadsheet was opened. To see per-recipient detail, including who previewed it and when, enable access control (tracked or restricted mode) before sending. This is particularly useful for finance professionals tracking engagement on proposals, reports, or time-sensitive models.


Yes, they work independently. View tracking (preview counts) is always on and shows how many times your file was opened in the browser. Download tracking, which logs who downloaded and when, must be explicitly enabled by you before sending. For spreadsheets shared with banking clients, enabling both gives you a complete picture of engagement.


No account is needed for recipients to preview or download files. When you enable access control, WeTransfer identifies recipients by the email addresses you specify, so tracking works without requiring them to sign up. This keeps the experience frictionless for clients while you retain full visibility.


Yes. You can restrict access to specific email addresses, so only designated recipients can open your transfer. This is available on all plans and is well suited to sharing confidential financial data, audit files, or regulatory documents where access needs to stay controlled. Transfers can also be password-protected for an additional layer of security.


WeTransfer encrypts files in transit using TLS and at rest using AES-256, with storage in EU data centers. The service is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR-compliant, which matters for finance and banking teams handling sensitive or regulated data. Data processing agreements are available for business plans.
