Request video footage from anyone with one link
Share a single upload link with contributors, stringers, or sources and let video files come to you. Every clip lands directly in your WeTransfer workspace, and you get an email notification as each one arrives. No FTP servers, no shared drive permissions, no chasing anyone for a file.
Request once, receive from anyone
Broadcast and digital news teams operate on tight deadlines, and waiting for contributors to figure out file-sharing logistics is time no editor can afford. WeTransfer upload requests give your team a stable, shareable link you can distribute to anyone, whether that is a local stringer in a different country, a freelance videographer, or a member of the public who captured something newsworthy. Every video file arrives exactly as it was shot, with no re-encoding or resolution loss, so broadcast-ready MP4s, high-resolution MOVs, and 4K clips all come through at their original quality. You can preview incoming footage directly in your browser before downloading, which helps you quickly triage a batch of clips and confirm the right material has arrived before it goes to an editor. Both you and the people uploading to your request need a free WeTransfer account, and a new request takes only a moment to set up.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
You create an upload request from your WeTransfer account, which generates a dedicated link you can share however you like, by email, messaging app, or embedded in a contributor briefing. Anyone who opens the link can upload video files directly to your workspace. You receive an email notification each time a clip arrives, and all incoming footage is organized in the Received section of your account so nothing gets lost in the shuffle.
No paid plan is required. Anyone uploading video to your request just needs a free WeTransfer account. If they do not already have one, they can create it in seconds as part of the upload flow. The contributor never needs access to your account or workspace, and they only interact with the upload link you shared.
You can have a request created and a shareable link ready to send within a minute or two. Give the request a title and optional submission instructions, copy the link, and share it immediately. There is no technical setup required on the contributor's end, so sources can start uploading the moment they receive your link.
No. WeTransfer does not alter, compress, or re-encode files at any stage. Video arrives exactly as it was captured, whether that is 4K broadcast footage, a proxy MOV, or a compressed MP4 shot on a phone. This matters for news and media teams because it means clips are edit-ready as soon as they land in your workspace.
Yes. WeTransfer lets you preview video files directly in your browser, so you can scan incoming footage and confirm you have the right material before pulling anything into your edit. This is particularly useful when managing multiple contributors sending clips for the same story, as you can quickly identify the strongest takes without downloading the entire batch first.
