Secure file sharing for news and media teams
Journalists, editors, and broadcast teams handle footage, source material, and embargoed content that demands real security. WeTransfer encrypts every file end to end, puts access controls in your hands, and brings your entire newsroom or media organization into one shared workspace with centralized oversight.
A secure space for your team
News and media work runs on time-sensitive assets: raw footage, interview recordings, embargoed press materials, broadcast-ready video, and confidential source documents that cannot reach the wrong audience. WeTransfer protects every transfer with TLS encryption 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. Each transfer can be locked behind a password, restricted to a named list of verified email addresses, or fitted with download tracking so you have a timestamped record of exactly who accessed what. Files arrive at the other end in their original quality, whether that is a 4K broadcast clip, a high-resolution photo package, a PDF brief, or a ZIP of production assets, with no compression, no re-encoding, and nothing altered. Teams and Enterprise plans extend that with shared workspaces, centralized billing, and member management, while Enterprise adds SSO, advanced access management, custom transfer rules, and usage logs built for organizations with editorial governance and compliance requirements.

Every file is encrypted with TLS while it travels and with AES-256 while it sits on WeTransfer's servers, which are hosted on AWS infrastructure in Ireland. All transfers are scanned automatically for malware, and you can layer on a password or restrict access to a specific list of verified email addresses so only the intended recipients can open the file. WeTransfer is ISO 27001 certified and fully GDPR-compliant, with Data Processing Agreements available on business plans.
Yes. Teams and Enterprise plans give you a shared workspace where admins can see and manage all transfers sent by any member, making it straightforward to maintain oversight across desks or regional offices. Centralized billing keeps costs tidy, and shared branding means every file delivery looks consistent whether it comes from a reporter, an editor, or the production team. Enterprise adds SSO, SCIM provisioning, usage logs, and custom transfer rules for larger organizations with formal governance needs.
WeTransfer handles video files, RAW and high-resolution image formats, audio recordings, PDFs, ZIP archives, and virtually any other file type a media workflow produces. Files are delivered in their original quality with no compression or re-encoding, so a 4K broadcast clip or a full-resolution photo package arrives exactly as it was uploaded. On Ultimate and above, there is no cap on individual transfer size, making it practical for broadcast-grade assets.
Download tracking lets senders see who downloaded a transfer and exactly when. For email transfers, a checkmark appears against each recipient's address once they download, and you can hover to see the precise timestamp. Restricted access takes it further by requiring recipients to verify their email before downloading, and you receive a detailed notification for each download, giving you a clear chain of custody for sensitive editorial material.
Recipients never need a WeTransfer account to download a transfer. They can also preview images, video, audio, and PDFs directly in the browser before downloading, which is useful when a contributor needs to confirm they have the right files before pulling down a large package. Only the person sending files needs an account, so there is no friction for external contacts on the receiving end.
