Get your expired data file transfers back
When a transfer link to your data files goes dark, it does not have to mean starting over. WeTransfer Ultimate keeps expired transfers in a recoverable state, so you can pull them back from your Transfers panel — including transfers you sent while on a Free or Starter plan.
Get your expired files back
Expired transfer links to databases, archives, spreadsheets, or other data files can create real problems when those files are tied to a live project or client handoff. WeTransfer Ultimate lets you restore expired transfers from your account, without contacting the original sender or hunting through backups. Recovery works retroactively, so data file transfers you sent before upgrading may already be restorable as soon as your plan changes. Every file returns exactly as it was delivered, with no alterations to structure, formatting, or contents. If keeping access to your data transfers beyond the initial send matters, Ultimate is the plan that makes recovery possible.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Yes. Recovery on Ultimate is retroactive, meaning transfers you sent while on a Free or Starter account may already be restorable the moment you switch. You can find them in your Transfers panel and restore them from there, as long as they fall within the applicable recovery window.
On Ultimate, data files under 256 MB can be recovered for up to one year after the transfer expires. Files over 256 MB have a 90-day recovery window. If a transfer falls outside these windows, the files are permanently deleted and cannot be restored.
Yes. WeTransfer does not alter or reprocess files during storage or recovery. Your spreadsheets, databases, CSV archives, or any other data formats return with the same structure and contents as when they were originally sent.
The Recoverable option is enabled by default on new transfers for Ultimate subscribers, so most transfers are already set up for recovery without any extra steps. It is worth double-checking this setting in your transfer options if you are sending something you want to be able to restore later.
On Free and Starter plans, transfers expire after a maximum of three days and are permanently deleted once they expire. There is no recovery path on either of those plans. Upgrading to Ultimate is the only way to keep expired transfers restorable.
