Secure file sharing for retail teams

Retail teams share a constant stream of assets, from planogram updates and supplier contracts to product photography and promotional materials, and every file needs to reach the right hands without risk. WeTransfer encrypts every transfer end to end, lets you decide precisely who can download each file, and connects your team in one shared workspace with visibility across every transfer sent.

A secure space for your team

Retail operations depend on fast, reliable file sharing between buyers, suppliers, visual merchandising teams, and agencies, and the files involved, from unreleased campaign assets to commercially sensitive pricing documents, need real protection in transit. WeTransfer encrypts every file with TLS while it travels and AES-256 once it rests on EU-based AWS servers in Ireland, and holds ISO 27001 certification and full GDPR compliance, with Data Processing Agreements available on business plans. Any transfer can be password protected, restricted to a named list of verified email addresses, or paired with download tracking so you have a clear record of who accessed what and when. Product images, lookbooks, video ads, PDF briefs, and supplier spreadsheets all arrive exactly as you sent them, with no compression and no quality loss regardless of format or file size. Teams handling complex retail calendars can manage members, branding, and billing in a shared workspace, and organizations needing tighter governance can add SSO, advanced access management, custom transfer rules, and usage logs at the Enterprise level.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


You can lock any transfer with a password before sending, so only recipients who have it can open the files. For tighter control, the Restricted downloads option limits access to a specific list of verified email addresses, and anyone outside that list is turned away even if they have the link. Combined with download tracking, which logs a name and timestamp for every download, you get a clear, auditable record of exactly who accessed each file.


WeTransfer encrypts all files in transit using TLS and at rest using AES-256, stores data on AWS servers in Ireland, and is ISO 27001 certified and fully GDPR-compliant. Automated malware scanning runs on every upload, and Data Processing Agreements are available on business plans for retailers with formal compliance requirements. The Trust Center at trust.wetransfer.com has full documentation on certifications and security practices.


Yes. The Teams plan gives every member their own linked account inside a shared workspace, where admins can view and manage all transfers, handle centralized billing, and control member access. This is useful for retail businesses where regional managers, buying teams, and marketing need to operate independently but under unified oversight. Enterprise extends this further with SSO, advanced access management, custom transfer rules, and usage logs for larger retail organizations.


Yes. WeTransfer does not compress or re-encode files at any point, so a high-resolution product image, a 4K campaign video, or a layered design file arrives at the other end in exactly the same quality as when it left your machine. Folders are also transferred with their original structure intact, which helps when passing complete asset packages to an agency or production partner.


Recipients never need a WeTransfer account to download or preview a transfer. They simply open the link or click through from the notification email and access the files directly. If you have enabled Restricted downloads, they will need to verify their email address first, but no sign-up is required. This makes it easy to share assets with external partners, franchisees, or seasonal vendors regardless of whether they use WeTransfer themselves.
