Secure file sharing built for education teams
Schools, universities, and education teams handle sensitive materials every day, from student work to research documents and course content. WeTransfer gives you a straightforward way to send those files with strong encryption, granular access controls, and a shared workspace that keeps your institution organized and your IT team comfortable.
A secure space for your team
Education teams need file sharing that respects both privacy obligations and the practical reality of working with students, colleagues, and external partners across different devices and locations. WeTransfer encrypts every transfer with TLS in transit and AES-256 at rest, stores files on EU-based AWS servers in Ireland, and is ISO 27001 certified and fully GDPR-compliant, with Data Processing Agreements available on business plans. You can lock any transfer behind a password, restrict downloads to a verified list of specific email addresses, or enable download tracking to keep a named, timestamped record of who accessed what and when. Recipients, including students or external collaborators, can preview files directly in the browser before downloading, and they never need to create an account to receive files. Institutions that need centralized oversight can manage members, shared storage, and branding from one workspace, with Enterprise adding SSO, advanced access management, custom transfer rules, and usage logs for organizations with formal IT governance requirements.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Every file sent through WeTransfer is encrypted with TLS during transit and AES-256 at rest, stored on AWS servers in EU data centers in Ireland. WeTransfer is ISO 27001 certified and fully GDPR-compliant, which matters for education institutions handling personal data. You can also restrict any transfer to a verified list of email addresses, so only the intended recipients, whether a student cohort, a faculty group, or a named external examiner, can access the files.
Yes. Recipients never need a WeTransfer account to download or preview a transfer. Students can open a download link, preview supported file types directly in the browser, and download what they need without any sign-up friction. A WeTransfer account is only required to send files, which keeps access straightforward for learners while giving educators full control of what gets shared.
A shared workspace lets admins manage all transfers sent by team members from one central view, handle billing in one place, and apply consistent branding across communications. Members keep their own accounts and send from their own email addresses, while admins retain oversight of everything moving through the workspace. For larger institutions, the Enterprise plan adds SSO, SCIM provisioning, custom transfer rules, usage logs, and advanced access management to meet formal IT and compliance requirements.
WeTransfer sends any file type, including PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, presentations, video lectures, audio recordings, design files, ZIP archives, and 3D or CAD files used in engineering or architecture courses. Files are transferred in their original quality with no compression, re-encoding, or alteration of any kind, so a video lecture or a high-resolution research image arrives exactly as it was uploaded.
Data Processing Agreements are available for business plan customers. You can download WeTransfer's DPA directly from wetransfer.com/documents/WeTransfer_Data_Processing_Agreement.pdf. It is legally binding as provided. For Enterprise plans, WeTransfer works directly with your organization to address specific compliance or contractual requirements, which is particularly relevant for institutions subject to GDPR or other regional data protection obligations.
