Keep count of who views your transfer

When you share video footage with clients or collaborators, knowing whether it's been seen matters. WeTransfer shows you a preview count on every transfer automatically, with no setup required. For a closer look, turning on tracked or restricted access gives you a per-recipient log, so you can tell exactly who opened your footage and when. Recipients can preview video directly in the browser before deciding what to download, and you see the engagement on your end. It works for everything from rough cuts to final deliverables, keeping client communication grounded in something concrete.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Yes. Every transfer you send includes a preview count that updates automatically, showing you how many times the footage has been opened. This is visible on all plans from the moment you send, with no extra configuration needed.


Enable access control on your transfer by switching to tracked or restricted mode before sending. Once active, you get a per-recipient log showing who previewed the footage and at what time, rather than just a total count.


No. Recipients can preview video footage directly in the browser without downloading anything, and that preview still registers in your view count. They can watch the footage first and choose to download only what they need.


Preview activity does not trigger an email notification, so you won't get an alert each time someone watches. You can check the preview count and per-recipient log directly from your transfer list whenever you want to catch up on engagement.


Download tracking is available on all plans but needs to be explicitly turned on before you send. Once enabled, you can see who downloaded the files and when, giving you a fuller picture of how recipients are engaging with your video footage alongside the preview data.
