Secure file sharing built for healthcare teams

Sensitive medical files demand more than a basic send-and-hope approach. WeTransfer gives healthcare teams strong encryption at every step, precise control over who can access each transfer, and workspace-level oversight that keeps the whole organization accountable.

Send your first transfer

A secure space for your team

Healthcare professionals handling patient records, diagnostic images, and clinical documents need file sharing that takes security seriously, not just as a checkbox. Every transfer on WeTransfer is protected with TLS encryption in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest, stored on EU-based AWS servers in Ireland, and backed by ISO 27001 certification and full GDPR compliance, with Data Processing Agreements available on business plans. Senders can lock any transfer behind a password, restrict downloads to a named list of verified email addresses, and enable download tracking to maintain a clear record of who accessed which files and when. Recipients can preview PDFs, images, and other clinical file formats directly in the browser without downloading, making selective review straightforward before committing to a local copy. Organizations with stricter governance requirements can add SSO, SCIM provisioning, custom transfer rules, usage logs, and advanced access management through an Enterprise plan, giving IT and compliance teams the controls they need.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


WeTransfer is GDPR-compliant and ISO 27001 certified, with files encrypted in transit using TLS and at rest using AES-256, stored on EU-based servers in Ireland. While WeTransfer is not bound by US HIPAA regulations as a Dutch company, its security architecture, Data Processing Agreements available on business plans, and strict data handling policies align closely with the principles that healthcare organizations rely on. For organizations with specific compliance obligations, we recommend reviewing the Trust Center at trust.wetransfer.com and consulting your compliance team.


Yes. When sending any transfer, you can restrict access to a specific list of email addresses, so only verified recipients can open the files. You can also lock the transfer behind a password that must be shared with recipients separately, adding a second layer of protection. Both options are available on all plans and can be combined for transfers where access needs to be tightly controlled.


Download tracking is available on all plans and must be explicitly enabled by the sender. Once turned on, you can see which recipients downloaded the transfer and the exact date and time of each download, giving your team an audit-friendly record of file access. For email transfers, a checkmark appears next to each recipient's address once they download, with a timestamp visible on hover.


No. WeTransfer sends files in their original format with no re-encoding, compression, or quality loss, so diagnostic images, DICOM-adjacent exports, and high-resolution scans arrive exactly as uploaded. WeTransfer does not open or view file contents, and all uploads are scanned automatically for malware using an entirely automated process with no human access. Your files are never sold, shared with third parties, or used to train AI models.


The Enterprise plan is designed for organizations that need more than individual sending controls. It includes SSO via SAML, SCIM user provisioning, custom transfer rules, usage logs with SIEM integration, advanced access management, and the ability to set custom storage limits. Teams and Enterprise plans also support centralized billing, shared workspaces, and Data Processing Agreements for business compliance requirements, making it easier for IT and compliance teams to govern file sharing across the organization.
