Mobile file transfers for government and NGOs

Field teams, desk staff, and partner organisations often need to share documents the moment they're ready, not when they're back at a laptop. Open wetransfer.com in any mobile browser on iOS or Android, upload reports, forms, media files, or signed documents, and send them via email or a shareable link. No app to install, no account needed for recipients to download.

Transfer files from any device

Government bodies and NGOs handle documents that need to reach the right people quickly and securely, whether that's programme reports, procurement files, field photographs, or policy drafts. WeTransfer works entirely in the mobile browser, so staff in the field or between offices can send and receive files without installing anything on their device. Every file is delivered exactly as uploaded, with no compression or quality loss, which matters when scanned forms, high-resolution images, or formatted reports need to stay intact. Before a transfer goes out, you can add a password, restrict access to a specific list of email addresses, or turn on download tracking to confirm who received what and when. Files are encrypted in transit and at rest, stored on EU servers, and WeTransfer is ISO 27001 certified and fully GDPR-compliant, making it a practical fit for organisations with data governance requirements.

Yes. All files are encrypted in transit using TLS and at rest using AES-256, stored on AWS servers in Ireland, and WeTransfer is ISO 27001 certified and fully GDPR-compliant. You can also add a password to any transfer or restrict access to a named list of email addresses, so only the intended recipients can open the files. Data Processing Agreements are available for business plans, which is useful for organisations with formal compliance requirements.


Nothing needs to be installed on either end. Sending requires a free WeTransfer account and works in any mobile browser on iOS or Android. Recipients, including partner NGOs, contractors, or government counterparts, can download files directly from the browser without creating an account or downloading an app, which removes friction when coordinating with multiple external parties.


Yes. You can restrict access to specific email addresses, so only people on your list can open the files after verifying their identity. You can also add a password that must be shared with recipients separately, or enable download tracking to see exactly who downloaded the files and when. All of these options are available across plans and can be set before you hit send.


WeTransfer supports any file type, including PDFs, Word and Excel documents, presentations, scanned forms, high-resolution photographs, video footage, ZIP archives, and audio files. Files arrive exactly as they were uploaded, with no re-encoding or compression, so the formatting of a policy document or the resolution of field photography is preserved. Folder uploads are also supported, keeping the original folder structure intact for recipients.


The free plan allows up to 10 transfers and up to 3 GB of total transfers per rolling 30-day window, with transfers expiring after 3 days. For teams that share large files regularly, need transfers to stay accessible for longer, or want features like custom expiry, expanded recipient limits, branded pages, or the ability to recover expired transfers, WeTransfer Ultimate or Teams would be a better fit. Teams also adds shared storage, centralised billing, and admin controls for up to 50 members.
