See exactly who's viewed your retail files

Sending lookbooks, product sheets, or supplier briefs to buyers and partners is only part of the picture. WeTransfer shows you who opened your files and who downloaded them, so you walk into every follow-up knowing what your recipients have actually seen.

Keep count of who views your transfer

Retail moves fast, and whether you're sharing a seasonal catalog with a buyer, a planogram with a store team, or a product brief with a supplier, knowing that your files were opened matters as much as knowing they were delivered. WeTransfer separates preview activity from download events, giving you two clear signals per transfer directly in your Transfers panel. Before you send, enabling download tracking ties each access event to a verified email address and an exact timestamp, so your follow-up conversations are built on real data. For confidential materials like unreleased product ranges, pricing documents, or trade presentation decks, restricted access lets you lock a transfer to a specific list of email addresses, keeping proprietary content away from anyone not on that list. Every file travels without compression or quality loss, whether you're sending high-resolution product photography, PDF line sheets, Office documents, or a full visual merchandising pack.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Yes. WeTransfer records preview activity and download events separately, so you can see both signals in your Transfers panel. If a buyer opened your lookbook in the browser preview but hasn't downloaded the full file yet, that shows up distinctly from a completed download, giving you a more accurate read on engagement before you follow up.


Before clicking Transfer, open the transfer settings panel and enable download tracking. Once active, every download is tied to a verified email address and a precise timestamp, visible in the transfer's activity details. The setting needs to be switched on before sending, so it's worth making it part of your standard process for important retail documents.


For email transfers, yes. Each recipient's download activity is tracked separately, and you can hover over a recipient's address in your Transfers panel to see the exact date and time they downloaded. With download tracking enabled, you get a clear per-recipient picture rather than a single aggregate count, which is useful when managing multiple buyer relationships at once.


Yes. Restricted access lets you specify a list of email addresses before sending, and only people on that list can open the transfer after verifying their email. This is useful for protecting pre-launch range reveals, trade pricing sheets, or any retail material you don't want circulating beyond the intended audience. You can also update the access list after sending from the transfer details page.


WeTransfer handles any file type without compression or re-encoding, so high-resolution product photography, PDF lookbooks, PowerPoint trade presentations, Excel pricing grids, video campaign cuts, and layered design files all arrive in their original quality. Recipients can preview images, PDFs, and videos directly in the browser before downloading, which means buyers can review a catalog without committing to a full download first.
