See who's viewed your shared PDFs
Know when your documents have been opened. WeTransfer shows you preview counts on every transfer automatically, and lets you go deeper with per-recipient tracking when you need it.
Keep count of who views your transfer
In healthcare, knowing whether a PDF has been reviewed can matter as much as sending it in the first place. WeTransfer gives every transfer a live preview count, so you can see at a glance how many times a document has been opened, with no extra setup required. When you need more detail, enabling access control lets you see exactly who previewed your PDF and when, broken down by recipient. Recipients can open and read PDFs directly in the browser before downloading, which makes it easy to share referral documents, reports, or intake materials without forcing anyone to download a file they may not need. Files are encrypted in transit and at rest, stored in EU data centers, and WeTransfer is GDPR-compliant, so sensitive documents stay protected throughout.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Yes. Every transfer shows a preview count by default, so you always know how many times your PDF has been opened. If you need a per-recipient breakdown, enable access control (tracked or restricted mode) before sending, and WeTransfer will log who previewed the file and at what time.
Previews do not trigger email notifications, but the view count on your transfer updates automatically. For a detailed log of who opened the PDF and when, turn on access control when creating your transfer. You can check the full recipient-level activity from your transfer list at any time.
WeTransfer encrypts files in transit using TLS and at rest using AES-256, stores data in EU data centers, and is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR-compliant. You can also add a password to any transfer so only intended recipients can access the PDF. Data processing agreements are available for business plans.
Yes. When creating a transfer, you can enable restricted access and specify the email addresses allowed to view the file. Anyone not on that list will be blocked from opening the PDF, giving you an extra layer of control over who can access sensitive materials.
No account is needed to view or download a transfer. Recipients can open the PDF directly in their browser, preview it, and download it without signing up. This keeps things frictionless for colleagues, patients, or external partners who receive documents from you.
