Quite easy, actually! Click the button that says Get your files in the email you received, which looks like the one pictured below:
You will then be redirected to a download page on our website. After accepting our cookies and agreeing to our Terms of service and acknowledging our Privacy Policy, you can either preview the files before downloading them, download individual files or click Download all to download the whole bundle of files in one go.
Your download will start in your browser and once it’s done, it’s all yours to enjoy. As we download all files through the browser, you will not see the download progress in WeTransfer itself, and you may not be asked where to store the file.
The download progress should be visible at the bottom of your browser window (in Chrome and Internet Explorer), in the Downloads window (Firefox or older Safari versions), or in a little button in the top right corner of the window (newer Safari versions).
In most cases, your file will be stored in your computer's 'Downloads' folder. This can be changed to a different location on your computer, just check out these instructions for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. With Chrome and Firefox you are also given the option of choosing where to save the file.
Please note that WeTransfer doesn’t offer a built-in option to download your files directly into Google Drive or other cloud platforms. Instead, you can download the files to your computer first and then upload them to your preferred storage spot, like Google Drive or Dropbox. Simple enough!

Remember: you do not need a WeTransfer account in order to download a transfer! Plus, if the sender of the transfer you have received uses one of our paid plans, you can receive even bigger files with ease.
Don't hesitate to let us know if you encounter any problems, happy transferring!
