Password-protected file transfers for retail teams
Retail moves fast, and not every file is meant for everyone — supplier contracts, seasonal campaign assets, pricing sheets, and product imagery all need to reach the right hands. WeTransfer lets you lock any transfer with a password before the link goes out, so recipients must enter it before accessing a single file. It takes seconds, needs no software on either end, and works on every plan.
Keep your files private
Retail teams regularly exchange files that sit at the intersection of sensitive and time-critical: unreleased product photos, promotional briefs, vendor agreements, planogram updates, and inventory reports. WeTransfer puts the password field right inside the upload window, so you set it before any link is created — not as an afterthought once files are already in motion. That password never travels inside the download notification email, which means you decide how to pass it along, whether through your internal chat platform, a quick call to a supplier, or a separate email to a agency partner. Your files arrive exactly as you uploaded them, with no compression or quality loss, so high-resolution campaign photography, PDF line sheets, and full-resolution product renders land intact every time. If a campaign wraps early, a vendor relationship changes, or you simply need to rotate credentials, you can update or remove the password on any active transfer from your Transfers panel without re-uploading the files.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Yes. Recipients never need a WeTransfer account to download a transfer. They just open the link, enter the password you shared with them, and get the files. Only the person sending the transfer needs an account, which keeps onboarding friction low when you're working with external suppliers, freight partners, or creative agencies.
WeTransfer deliberately leaves the password out of the download notification email, so it never appears alongside the link in the same message. You choose the channel — a separate email, your team's messaging platform, a phone call, or a supplier portal. That separation means someone who intercepts the download link still can't open the files without the password.
Practically any file type you work with: high-resolution product photography, campaign videos, PDF lookbooks and line sheets, InDesign or Illustrator brand assets, ZIP archives of seasonal imagery, Excel pricing sheets, PowerPoint trade presentations, and CAD or 3D model files. Every file is sent in its original quality, with no re-encoding or compression, so packaging renders and campaign visuals arrive exactly as produced.
Yes. Go to your Transfers panel, open the relevant transfer, and you can set, change, or remove the password at any time while the transfer is still active. The updated password takes effect immediately, so if a team member leaves or a vendor relationship ends mid-campaign, you can cut off access without having to re-upload anything.
Yes. On top of a password, you can enable restricted access to limit downloads to a specific list of email addresses, so even someone who has the password cannot download unless their address is on your list. This is useful for documents like supplier pricing agreements or pre-launch campaign assets where you need both a shared secret and strict control over exactly who can open the files.
