Document links that stay active for as long as you need

Government organisations and NGOs often share policy documents, reports, and reference materials that need to remain accessible for months, not days. WeTransfer lets you distribute documents through a clean, shareable link and, with Ultimate, you choose if and when that link ever closes.

Share files that never expire

Public-sector teams and NGOs depend on documents staying reachable long after the initial share: a grant report, a policy brief, or a compliance guide should not disappear because a platform timer ran out. WeTransfer sends documents in their original quality with no alteration, so a PDF, Word document, spreadsheet, or presentation arrives exactly as you prepared it. Every transfer gets its own unique download link that recipients can open from any browser without creating an account, making distribution straightforward whether you are reaching colleagues, partner organisations, or the public. You can add a password to any document transfer or restrict access to a named list of email addresses, giving your team precise control over sensitive materials. Files are encrypted in transit and at rest, stored on EU servers, and WeTransfer is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR-compliant, meeting the security and data governance standards that public-sector and civil-society organisations require.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Yes. With WeTransfer Ultimate, you can set a custom expiry date on any transfer or choose to keep it active indefinitely, so a policy document or reference guide remains reachable for as long as your organisation needs it. Free accounts expire after a maximum of three days, so an upgrade is required for long-term document sharing. Once set, the expiry can be adjusted at any time from your Transfers panel.


No. WeTransfer does not modify, re-encode, or compress your files. A PDF, Word document, spreadsheet, or presentation is delivered to recipients exactly as you uploaded it, including formatting, embedded fonts, and tracked changes. This is important for NGOs and government bodies sharing official documents where accuracy and integrity are non-negotiable.


WeTransfer gives you two access control options on all plans. You can lock a transfer behind a password so only recipients who know it can open the files, or you can restrict access to a specific list of email addresses so only named individuals can download. For government organisations handling confidential materials, the restricted-access option also triggers a detailed download notification each time someone accesses the transfer.


Yes. Recipients can open PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, and spreadsheets directly in the browser before deciding what to download, with no account required. This is useful when distributing large document packages, such as a tender bundle or annual report, where colleagues or partner organisations need to check the contents without pulling every file to their device.


WeTransfer encrypts all files in transit using TLS and at rest using AES-256, stores data on AWS servers in Ireland, and holds ISO 27001 certification. The platform is GDPR-compliant and based in the EU, and Data Processing Agreements are available for business plan customers, which is relevant for government bodies and NGOs with formal data governance obligations. WeTransfer does not view, sell, or share your files, and content is never used to train AI models.
