Share course files and resources with a download link
Upload your teaching materials to WeTransfer and get a unique link to share with students, colleagues, or parents in seconds. Paste it into a learning management system, a class group chat, or an email, and anyone who receives it can download directly from their browser without creating an account.
One link, instant access
Educators often need to distribute files that are too large or too varied to attach to an email, from lecture slide decks and reading packs to assignment briefs, audio recordings, and design assets. WeTransfer generates a shareable download link as soon as your upload finishes, so you can distribute materials through whatever channel your school or institution already uses. Every file travels in its original quality with no compression, meaning a high-resolution diagram, a PDF workbook, or a multi-file resource pack reaches students exactly as you prepared it. Recipients can preview supported files like PDFs, images, and audio directly in the browser before downloading, which is useful when you have bundled several resources and a student only needs one or two. If a transfer contains sensitive material, such as personalised feedback or assessment documents, you can lock the link with a password or restrict access to specific email addresses before you share it.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
Sign in to your free WeTransfer account, click the upload area on the homepage, and add your files or folders. Once the upload finishes, switch to the link transfer option and WeTransfer generates a unique URL you can copy and paste anywhere, including your virtual classroom, a parent newsletter, or a school messaging app. Anyone who receives the link can download the files straight from their browser with no account required on their end.
WeTransfer handles virtually every file type teachers and students work with: PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, spreadsheets, images, audio recordings, video lessons, ZIP archives, and design files. There is no re-encoding or compression, so a detailed diagram, a high-resolution scan of a handout, or a recorded lecture arrives exactly as you uploaded it.
Link transfers have no recipient limit, so you can post a single URL to an entire class, year group, or department and every student can download from it without any sign-up. If you send the transfer by email instead of a link, free accounts support up to 10 recipients per transfer and paid plans support up to 50.
On the free plan, links remain active for up to 3 days from when the transfer was sent, which suits quick turnarounds like sharing materials the day before a lesson. If you need links to stay live longer, for an ongoing course unit or an end-of-term resource pack, upgrading to Ultimate lets you set a custom expiry or keep transfers available indefinitely.
Yes. Before sending, you can add a password so only recipients who know it can access the files, or you can restrict downloads to a specific list of email addresses so the link only opens for the intended students or parents. Both options are available on all plans and can also be adjusted after a transfer has already been sent, directly from your transfers panel.
