One link to collect PDFs from anyone in your class
Create an upload request and share the link with students, parents, or external educators. Everyone sends their PDFs directly to your WeTransfer workspace, and you receive an email notification as each file arrives. No email threads, no shared folders to manage, no chasing.
Request once, receive from anyone
Gathering coursework, permission slips, reading materials, or contributor content from across a school or institution usually means juggling inboxes and chasing follow-ups. WeTransfer upload requests give you a single link you can drop into a virtual classroom, a parent portal, or a faculty email, so everyone sends their PDFs straight to you without any setup on their end. Every file arrives exactly as submitted, meaning multi-page syllabi, annotated worksheets, signed consent forms, and formatted research papers come through at full fidelity with nothing altered. You can open and preview PDFs directly in your browser before downloading, so you can confirm the right document has arrived without pulling every file onto your computer. Both you and the people submitting files need a free WeTransfer account, and your first request is ready to share in a matter of minutes.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
No paid plan is required on either side. Anyone uploading a PDF to your request needs a free WeTransfer account, but there is no cost involved. You also need a free account to create the upload request in the first place. Once both sides are set up, the process is straightforward: they open your link, attach their file, and send.
Yes. A single upload request link works for as many people as you need to reach. You can paste it into a learning management system, a school newsletter, a parent email, or a staff communication, and every person who opens it can upload their PDFs through the same link. Each submission arrives in your WeTransfer workspace separately, so nothing gets mixed up.
Yes. WeTransfer does not compress or alter files during transfer, so PDFs arrive at full fidelity. Formatted essays, signed permission forms, fillable documents, and multi-page reports all come through exactly as they were saved, with fonts, annotations, and layout intact. There is no re-encoding or quality loss at any stage.
WeTransfer sends you an email notification each time someone uploads a file to your request. You can also check your Received tab at any time to see what has come in. This means you stay on top of incoming submissions without having to log in repeatedly to check, which is useful during busy assessment periods when files arrive throughout the day.
Yes. WeTransfer lets you preview PDFs directly in your browser, so you can read through a submission and confirm it is the right document before downloading anything. This is particularly useful in an educational context where you may be collecting many similar files and want to triage them quickly. Recipients can also leave comments on preview files, which could support lightweight feedback workflows.
