Request engineering PDFs from anyone with one link
Create an upload request and send the link to colleagues, suppliers, or external consultants. They upload their PDFs directly to your WeTransfer workspace, and you get an email notification the moment each document arrives. No email threads, no shared folders, no follow-up messages.
Request once, receive from anyone
Engineering teams regularly need to pull in PDFs from multiple sources, whether that's technical specifications from vendors, signed-off drawings from a design office, compliance certificates from a third-party auditor, or delivery documentation from a supplier. A WeTransfer upload request gives you a single link you can drop into a procurement portal, a project handover pack, or a direct message, so every document flows into one place without any coordination overhead. Documents arrive exactly as submitted, with no compression or alteration, so multi-page technical drawings, stamped certificates, and annotated specification PDFs come through at full fidelity and are ready to use in your workflow. You can preview incoming PDFs directly in your browser before downloading, making it easy to confirm a document is correct before you route it onward. Both you and the people sending files need a free WeTransfer account, and your first request can be up and running in minutes.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Log in to your WeTransfer account, click Request Files on the homepage, give the request a title (for example, "Structural Drawings Submission" or "Vendor Compliance Certificates"), and optionally add instructions specifying file naming conventions, revision standards, or required document formats. Once created, you get a link you can share by email, via a procurement platform, or in a project management tool. Everyone you send the link to can upload their PDFs directly to your workspace, and you receive an email notification each time a document arrives.
No paid account is needed. Anyone sending files to your upload request does need a free WeTransfer account, but there is no cost involved and sign-up takes only a moment. This means external parties like third-party inspectors, subcontractors, or equipment suppliers can send you documents without any software to install or subscription to manage on their end.
No. WeTransfer transfers files without any compression or re-encoding, so PDFs arrive exactly as the sender uploaded them. Stamped drawings, multi-page specification documents, and scanned compliance certificates all come through at full fidelity, preserving every annotation, revision mark, and embedded layer exactly as they appear in the original file.
Yes. When creating a request, you can add instructions directly to the request form. For engineering workflows this is useful for specifying revision naming conventions, required drawing formats, acceptable file sizes, or which certification standard a compliance PDF must reference. Contributors see these instructions before they upload, which reduces the chance of receiving the wrong document version.
Submitted files appear in the Received section of your WeTransfer account, organized under the relevant upload request. You can preview PDFs in your browser to verify the correct document has arrived before downloading it, which is useful for a quick check of a drawing revision or a certificate date without pulling every file to your local drive. From the Transfers panel you can also close a request when a submission window has passed, or delete it entirely once all documents have been processed.
