The reason that you're being asked to verify your email address is because it is one of our security features.
This feature is part of our continued efforts to combat spam transfers, and other misuses of our platform. It also means that nobody can impersonate you and send a transfer via your email address.
The code has an expiration time of 60 minutes, please make sure to only request one at a time. If you find that the verification code is taking a while to reach your inbox, make sure to add our email noreply@wetransfer.com to your trusted contacts. You can find out how to do this here.
We also suggest checking your spam/junk folders, perhaps the emails landed there.
Starting November 2024, non-logged in users will be asked to enter a verification code upon sending files. You can learn more here.
