Lock down your spreadsheet transfers
Consultants and auditors handle data that cannot land in the wrong hands. WeTransfer lets you set a password on any transfer before you share the link, so recipients must enter it before they can reach a single file. It works on every plan, needs no installation, and your spreadsheets arrive exactly as you built them.
Keep your files private
When you are sending financial models, audit workpapers, or client data extracts, a shareable link alone is not enough. WeTransfer puts the password field directly in the upload window, and that password is never included in the notification email, so you decide when and how to pass the code to your intended recipient. Excel files, CSV exports, and multi-tab workbooks are transferred with no compression and no reformatting, meaning every formula, pivot table, and data connection arrives intact. If circumstances change after you send, you can add, update, or remove the password on any active transfer from your Transfers panel without re-uploading the files. For engagements that demand tighter control, you can pair password protection with restricted access, which limits downloads to a named list of email addresses so only the specific individuals you authorise can open the transfer even if they have the correct code.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
When you create a transfer, a password field is available directly in the upload window before you click send. You set the password there, and WeTransfer never includes it in the notification email sent to recipients, so you pass it to your client or colleague through a separate channel of your choice. Recipients are prompted to enter the password before they can access or download any file, including Excel workbooks, CSV files, or any other spreadsheet format you attach.
No. WeTransfer transfers all files without any compression or reformatting, so spreadsheets arrive exactly as you uploaded them. Formulas, pivot tables, named ranges, macros, and linked data connections are all preserved. What you send is precisely what the recipient downloads.
Yes. From your Transfers panel, you can add, change, or remove the password on any active transfer at any time without re-uploading the files. This is useful when a contact changes mid-engagement or when you need to rotate credentials after a review cycle closes.
No account is needed on the recipient side. Anyone with the download link and the correct password can access the files straight from their browser. This keeps the process friction-free for clients, counterparties, or regulators who are not WeTransfer users.
Beyond password protection, you can enable restricted access to limit downloads to a specific list of email addresses, adding a second layer of control on top of the password. All files are encrypted in transit using TLS and at rest using AES-256, stored on AWS infrastructure in EU data centers, and WeTransfer is ISO 27001 certified and fully GDPR-compliant. Data Processing Agreements are available for paid plan customers, which supports the documentation requirements many professional services engagements carry.
