Quick summary: Send secure client deliverables with WeTransfer by uploading your files at wetransfer.com, potentially using password protection. All transfers are automatically encrypted during upload and download, ensuring your client work arrives safely and privately.
Why Security Matters for Client Deliverables
Client deliverables often contain sensitive or confidential content:
- Unreleased creative campaigns
- Confidential brand strategies
- Product designs before public launch
- Financial or legal documents
- Proprietary software or code
- Personal information or medical records
- Exclusive content with NDA requirements
When delivering files to clients, security isn't optional — it's essential for maintaining trust, protecting intellectual property, and meeting contractual obligations.
WeTransfer's Built-In Security Features
Every WeTransfer transfer includes automatic security:
TLS encryption (all plans): Files are encrypted during upload and download. This protects against interception while files travel across the internet.
Private servers: Files are stored on secure servers with restricted access.
Unique transfer links: Each transfer gets a unique, non-guessable URL that only you and your recipients know.
Your content is always your content - we don’t use machine learning or any form of AI to process content shared via WeTransfer.
Step-by-Step: Sending Secure Client Deliverables
1. Prepare Your Deliverables

Name files clearly: Use professional naming.

- Select your deliverable files or ZIP
- Choose delivery method:
- Email: Direct delivery to client inboxes
- Link: Generate shareable link for client portals or project management tools
3. Add Password Protection
For sensitive client deliverables:
- Click the lock icon
- Set a strong password
- Share password separately (phone call, text, separate email)
4. Set Appropriate Expiry Time
Choose expiry based on client need.
5. Send and Confirm
- Click Transfer
- Save confirmation for your records
- Follow up with client to confirm successful download

Best Practices for Secure Client Deliverables
Always use password protection for:
- Unreleased campaigns or product launches
- Files containing personal or financial information
- Content under NDA or confidentiality agreements
- High-value intellectual property
- Any deliverable you wouldn't want publicly accessible
Verify recipient before sending:
- Double-check email addresses for typos
- Confirm you have the correct client contact
- For link transfers, only share with verified recipients
- Be cautious about forwarding — links give full access to anyone who has them
Include usage rights documentation:
- Specify how files can be used
- Note any licensing restrictions
- Include attribution requirements
- Clarify what's confidential vs. shareable
