Find out who's actually opened your shared folders
Sending a folder full of project files, deliverables, or proposals gives you nothing by default, just a quiet assumption that the other side looked. WeTransfer lets you see precisely when recipients preview or download your folders, so your follow-ups are based on what actually happened.
Keep count of who views your transfer
When you share folders with clients, collaborators, or stakeholders, knowing whether anyone engaged with the contents changes how you handle every conversation that follows. WeTransfer preserves your folder structure exactly on upload, so recipients download an organized package rather than a jumbled set of files, and you can track their activity from the same Transfers panel where you manage everything else. Before you send, enabling download tracking ties each access event to a named, verified email address and an exact timestamp, turning vague delivery confirmations into concrete engagement records. If the folder contains sensitive material, you can layer on restricted access so only the email addresses you specify can reach the files at all. Preview activity and downloads are recorded as separate events, giving you two distinct signals to work from before your next call or check-in.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Yes. WeTransfer records preview activity and download events separately in your Transfers panel, so you can distinguish between a recipient who browsed individual files in the browser and one who saved the full folder to their device. This distinction matters when you are trying to gauge how seriously a client or collaborator has engaged with a delivery before following up.
In the transfer settings panel before you click send, look for the download tracking option and enable it. Once active, every access event for that transfer is tied to a verified email address and a precise timestamp, which you can review at any time from your Transfers panel. The setting must be turned on before sending since it cannot be applied retroactively to a transfer already in flight.
Yes. When download tracking is enabled, each recipient's activity is logged individually, so you can see which specific contacts have previewed or downloaded and which have not. For email transfers you can check the activity per recipient directly from the transfer detail view, making it straightforward to prioritize follow-ups with the right people.
Yes. The restricted access setting lets you specify a list of email addresses, and anyone opening the transfer link must verify their email against that list before they can reach the files. This is useful for folders containing unreleased work, confidential briefs, or client-specific materials that should not be accessible beyond the intended audience.
WeTransfer preserves the original folder structure on upload, so recipients get the same organized hierarchy you put together rather than a flat collection of files. This applies whether you are sending a neatly nested project archive, a multi-level asset library, or a delivery package with subfolders by category. No files are compressed in a way that alters quality, and no re-encoding takes place.
