Share engineering files with a download link

Upload your technical files to WeTransfer and get a shareable link the moment your upload completes. Paste it into a project tracker, a supplier email, a Teams channel, or any tool already in your workflow, and your recipients can download straight from their browser, no account needed.

One link, instant access

Engineering work produces files that are too large, too precise, or too numerous for standard email attachments, whether you are distributing simulation outputs, finite element models, P&ID diagrams, or specification packages to contractors and review teams. WeTransfer generates a unique download link as soon as your upload finishes, so you can keep handoffs moving inside whatever communication channel your project already runs on. Every file reaches its destination exactly as you sent it, with no compression or re-encoding, meaning your DXF geometry, embedded tolerances, and file metadata stay intact from your workstation to theirs. Recipients can open the link in any browser and preview supported file types before deciding what to download, which is practical when you have bundled multiple deliverables together and different stakeholders only need specific documents. For sensitive project data such as tender submissions, proprietary designs, or confidential site assessments, you can lock the link with a password or restrict access to a named list of email addresses before it leaves your hands.

All your questions answered.


Go to wetransfer.com, create a free account if you do not already have one, then click the ellipsis icon in the transfer window and select the link transfer option. Add your files, click Transfer, and once the upload finishes WeTransfer gives you a unique URL you can copy and share anywhere. The link works in any browser, and recipients do not need a WeTransfer account to download.


WeTransfer handles any file type without alteration, so you can send CAD drawings, DWG and DXF files, 3D models, FEA or CFD output packages, PDFs, ZIP archives, Office documents, and any other format your project produces. Files arrive exactly as you uploaded them, with no re-encoding, no compression, and no loss of embedded data or layer structure.


Link transfers on WeTransfer have no recipient cap, so you can share one URL with an entire project team, a client organization, or a supply chain without any restriction on the number of downloads. This makes it straightforward to distribute review packages or tender documents to large groups without managing individual permissions.


Yes. Before sending, you can add a password that recipients must enter before downloading, or you can enable restricted access and specify the exact email addresses that are allowed to open the link. Both options are available on all plans, and you can also enable download tracking to see who downloaded your files and when, which is useful for audit trails on sensitive project deliverables.


Free plan links are available for up to 3 days from the moment of upload. On an Ultimate plan you can set a custom expiry, including keeping the transfer active indefinitely, so links you share with long-running projects or retained clients stay accessible for as long as you need. Ultimate plan users can also recover expired transfers, including ones that expired before upgrading, which provides a safety net if a contractor needs to re-download files after the original link has gone.
