See exactly who accessed your shared documents
For government organisations and NGOs, knowing that sensitive materials reached the right people is as important as sending them. WeTransfer records preview activity and downloads on every transfer, so you have a clear picture of who engaged with your files, tied to a verified email address and a timestamp.
Keep count of who views your transfer
When a policy brief, grant report, or operational document goes out to stakeholders, partners, or oversight bodies, you need more than a vague sense that the link was opened. WeTransfer captures preview activity separately from downloads, so you can see whether a recipient browsed your document in the browser, downloaded it, or did both, all from your Transfers panel. Enabling download tracking links every access event to a verified email address, giving your team a named, auditable record of who engaged with each file and when. For materials that should only reach a defined group, such as internal reports, funding submissions, or restricted briefings, you can lock access to a specific list of email addresses, so the files stay out of reach for anyone not authorised. Your documents are delivered exactly as uploaded, with no changes to formatting, structure, or content.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Yes. WeTransfer records preview activity and full downloads as separate events in your Transfers panel, so you can tell whether a recipient opened a file in the browser, saved a copy, or both. This distinction is useful when you need to confirm that a specific person has actually reviewed a report or briefing, not just that the link was opened.
When you enable download tracking on a transfer, each access event is logged against a verified email address and a timestamp. If you send to multiple recipients, you see each person's activity separately, so you know exactly who on your distribution list has engaged with the files and who has not. This is particularly useful for grant reports, compliance documents, or any delivery where confirmation of receipt matters.
Yes. WeTransfer's restricted access option lets you specify a list of email addresses before sending. Anyone who opens the link must verify their email, and access is only granted if they match your list. For government bodies and NGOs handling confidential materials, this means a briefing, funding submission, or internal report stays out of reach for anyone not explicitly authorised.
No account is needed to preview or download a transfer. Recipients click the link, verify their email if tracking or restricted access is enabled, and can access the files directly in the browser or download them. This keeps delivery frictionless for external partners, oversight bodies, or government counterparts who may not use WeTransfer themselves.
Files are encrypted in transit using TLS and at rest using AES-256, stored on AWS infrastructure in EU data centres, and WeTransfer is ISO 27001 certified and fully GDPR-compliant. Data Processing Agreements are available for business plan customers, which is relevant for government organisations and NGOs with formal data governance requirements. WeTransfer does not view, sell, or share your files, and content is never used to train AI models.
