Share patient PDFs securely across your healthcare team
Healthcare teams move sensitive documents every day, from clinical summaries and referral letters to consent forms and lab reports, and every one of them needs to arrive intact and only with the right people. WeTransfer encrypts PDFs end to end, lets you control exactly who can access each transfer, and gives your organization a shared workspace where administrators can see and manage everything.
A secure space for your team
Sharing PDFs in a healthcare setting means protecting patient confidentiality and meeting strict data governance standards at every step, and WeTransfer is built with those requirements in mind. Every file is encrypted using TLS in transit and AES-256 at rest, stored on EU-based AWS servers in Ireland, and covered by an ISO 27001 certification and full GDPR compliance, with Data Processing Agreements available on business plans. Before you send any PDF, you can add a password so only intended recipients can open it, restrict access to a verified list of named email addresses, and turn on download tracking to capture a timestamped record of who opened which document. Clinicians, administrators, and external partners can review PDFs directly in the browser, leave comments on individual files, and flag specific pages for follow-up without pulling anything to a local device first. Healthcare organizations that need centralized governance can consolidate their teams into a shared workspace with unified admin controls, and those with the most demanding compliance requirements can layer in SSO, advanced access management, custom transfer rules, and usage logs at the Enterprise level.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
When sending a PDF, you can enable restricted access so that only people on a named list of verified email addresses can open the transfer. You can also add a password as a second layer of protection, meaning recipients need both the link and the password to access the file. Neither option requires any technical setup, and both can be applied before or after sending from your transfers panel.
WeTransfer encrypts all files with TLS in transit and AES-256 at rest, stores data on EU-based servers in Ireland, and holds ISO 27001 certification. The platform is fully GDPR-compliant, and Data Processing Agreements are available for business plan customers, which is relevant for healthcare organizations that process personal or patient-identifiable information. Enterprise plans add SSO, advanced access management, and usage logs for organizations with stricter governance obligations.
Yes. When you enable download tracking on a transfer, WeTransfer records who downloaded the file and when, giving you a timestamped access log for each PDF you send. For healthcare teams that need to demonstrate appropriate handling of sensitive documents, this creates a straightforward audit trail without requiring any additional tools or manual record-keeping.
Recipients can open and read PDF transfers directly in the browser using WeTransfer's built-in preview, with no account required and no need to download anything to a local device. They can also leave comments on individual files and mark sections for follow-up, which keeps review and approval cycles moving across teams spread across different sites or clinical settings.
A shared workspace brings every team member under one roof with centralized administration, shared storage, and unified billing, so administrators can oversee all transfers sent across the organization rather than relying on individuals to manage their own accounts. On Teams plans, workspaces support up to 50 members with shared branding and admin visibility over all activity. Enterprise plans extend this further with unlimited members, custom storage, SSO, SCIM provisioning, and detailed usage logs suited to larger hospital networks or multi-site healthcare providers.
