Know who's viewed your files in government and NGO work
WeTransfer shows engagement on every transfer the moment it's sent. For teams handling sensitive reports, funding documents, or policy materials, you can go beyond a total count and see exactly which recipients previewed your files and when.
Keep count of who views your transfer
Government bodies and NGOs often share time-critical materials, from grant proposals to compliance reports, where knowing whether a file has been seen makes a real difference. WeTransfer records a preview count on every transfer automatically, visible from your account without any configuration. When accountability matters more, switching a transfer to tracked or restricted access mode produces a per-recipient log: each person who opened the file, with a timestamp. Download tracking can be enabled on top of that, giving you a complete picture of who viewed and who saved a copy. Files are encrypted in transit and at rest, stored in EU data centers, and WeTransfer is GDPR-compliant, so sensitive public-sector content stays protected from send to download.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Every transfer displays a preview count automatically, so you can see how many times it was opened without doing anything extra. To identify which specific recipient viewed your file and when, enable access control (tracked or restricted mode) before sending. This produces a per-recipient log you can check at any time from your transfer list.
No account is needed to preview or download a transfer. Recipients, whether they work for a government agency, an NGO, or anywhere else, simply open the link and access the files directly in their browser. Only the sender needs a WeTransfer account.
Files are encrypted in transit using TLS and at rest using AES-256, stored in EU data centers on ISO 27001-certified infrastructure. WeTransfer is GDPR-compliant and data processing agreements are available for business plans. You can also restrict access to specific email addresses so only approved recipients can open a transfer.
Yes. When you create a transfer, you can enable restricted access and specify the exact email addresses that are permitted to view it. Anyone else who gets hold of the link simply cannot open the files. For organizations handling sensitive internal documents, this gives you meaningful control over distribution.
Recipients can preview images (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, HEIC, PSD, and common RAW formats), PDFs, Office documents, MP4 and MOV video files up to 300 MB, and MP3 and WAV audio files up to 300 MB, all without downloading. View tracking works across all of these: a preview count is recorded whenever a file is opened, and per-recipient logs capture the same activity when access control is enabled.
