Send financial spreadsheets only the right eyes can open
Finance and banking work involves data that cannot land in the wrong inbox. WeTransfer lets you lock any transfer behind a password before it leaves your screen, so recipients hit a prompt the moment they open your link and see nothing until they enter the correct code. No configuration, no software — it works on every plan.
Keep your files private
Spreadsheets carrying payroll figures, audit workbooks, or deal models deserve more protection than a bare download link. WeTransfer lets you set a password directly in the transfer window while your files are uploading, and that password never travels inside the notification email, so you control exactly how and when the recipient receives it. Once the password clears, recipients can preview Excel and other supported spreadsheet formats in-browser before downloading, which is useful when a colleague needs to confirm they have the right file without pulling it onto a device. For finance teams handling particularly sensitive data, password protection can be paired with restricted access, limiting downloads to a named list of email addresses on top of the password itself. Every transfer is also encrypted in transit and at rest, and files are stored on EU servers with ISO 27001-certified infrastructure.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
When you upload your spreadsheet, look for the Password field in the transfer options panel before clicking Transfer and type in your chosen password. The password is stored securely and is never included in the download notification that goes to your recipient, so you pass it along through a separate channel such as a call or a secure message. If you need to set, update, or remove the password after the transfer has already been sent, you can do that at any time from your Transfers panel without re-uploading the file.
Password protection is available on every WeTransfer plan, including the free tier, so there is no need to upgrade just to lock a spreadsheet transfer. You can set a password on any transfer regardless of whether you are sending a single workbook or a folder of financial models. If you want additional controls alongside the password, such as restricting access to specific email addresses, those features are also available across plans.
Yes. Recipients do not need a WeTransfer account to access your transfer. They simply open the link, enter the password you have shared with them separately, and can then preview or download the spreadsheet. This means counterparts at other firms, auditors, or regulators can receive your files without any sign-up friction on their end.
Yes. WeTransfer lets you use both controls on the same transfer. Restricted access means only people on your specified list of email addresses can get in, on top of still needing the password. For spreadsheets containing sensitive deal data, board financials, or client account information, layering these two controls gives you a much tighter perimeter than a password alone.
Using an email transfer, you can send to up to 10 recipients on a free account, or up to 50 on a paid plan. If you need to share with a wider group, you can create a link transfer instead, copy the link, and distribute it yourself through your own channels — there is no cap on how many people can use a link transfer. Whichever method you choose, everyone who opens the transfer will hit the password prompt before they can see or download anything.
