Password-protected file transfers for telecoms teams
Telecommunications work moves fast and carries real sensitivity — network diagrams, contract drafts, technical specifications, and compliance documents need to reach the right people without ending up anywhere else. WeTransfer lets you lock any transfer behind a password before the link is created, so recipients are prompted to enter it before they can open a single file. No software to install, no account needed to download, and password protection is available on every plan.
Keep your files private
Telecom teams regularly share files that demand strict access control: infrastructure schematics, vendor agreements, spectrum licensing documents, and configuration exports that simply cannot be exposed to the wrong inbox. WeTransfer puts a password field directly in the upload window, so protection is applied before any download link exists. That password is never included in the notification email sent to recipients, giving you full control over how and when you share it — through your existing secure channels, whether that is a ticketing system, an internal chat platform, or a direct call. Every file arrives exactly as you uploaded it, with no re-encoding or compression, so large technical PDFs, CAD exports, ZIP archives, and high-resolution diagrams land intact on the other side. If a project scope changes, a vendor relationship ends, 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.
When uploading a transfer, you fill in the password field in the transfer options panel before clicking Send. Anyone who opens the download link is prompted to enter the password before they can view or download a single file. The password is never included in WeTransfer's notification email to recipients, so you pass it along through whatever internal or secure channel your team already uses.
Yes. Go to your Transfers panel, open the relevant transfer, and select Set password, Change password, or Remove — the change takes effect immediately without any re-uploading. This is useful when personnel change on a project, a vendor contract closes, or you simply need to rotate access credentials mid-cycle.
WeTransfer handles any file type: network topology diagrams, CAD and 3D design files, large ZIP archives, PDFs, spreadsheets, Office documents, video walkthroughs, and audio recordings. Files are transferred without any compression or re-encoding, so they arrive at the exact quality and file size you uploaded — nothing is altered in transit.
No. Recipients — whether they are contractors, regulatory contacts, or external vendors — can open the download link, enter the password, and download the files entirely from their browser with no account required. Only the sender needs a WeTransfer account.
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 knows the password cannot download unless their address is on your list. You can also enable download tracking to see exactly who downloaded a transfer and when, which is useful for audit trails in regulated or compliance-sensitive environments. Both options are available on all plans and can be configured or updated after a transfer has been sent.
