Accessing your WeTransfer account is super simple! De-accessing your account is super simple, too! Okay, okay, we know 'de-accessing' isn't a word, but it sounds a bit cooler than 'log out'... doesn't it?
How do I know when I'm logged in?
How to log in
When you ask your browser to fire up the weird and wonderful world of WeTransfer.com, you should see a ‘Log In’ button toward the top right-hand corner of your screen. Click that, watch the panel slide out from the side of the screen, enter your email address and password and you’re in!
You’ll also notice that we have the option to log in with social applications. These include Apple, Google, and Slack, however, you can still sign in the old fashioned way using your account’s email address and password. Just enter your details into each field and click the ‘Log In’ button and Voilà!!
If you’re interested in our social logins, you can read more about them here.
TLDR; these are the important things to note:
- If you log in via Apple, Google, or Slack and this email address doesn’t match the email address that is currently registered to your WeTransfer account, then you’ll be creating a new account with us. So, if the email address for your chosen social application doesn’t match the email address for your WeTransfer account then you’ll need to enter your details manually and log in the old fashioned way.
- You will not have a set password as you have signed up via a third party social platform. If you would like to change your password please reach out to our Support team here.

How do I know when I'm logged in?
There are a few ways that you can ensure that you're logged in to your WeTransfer account. The quickest and easiest way is to have a glance at the top-right hand corner of your page.
Remember the ‘Log In’ button from the top of this article? Well, if you see this button when you’re on WeTransfer.com, you’re not logged in. If you see your account name next to your chosen avatar - you’re logged in, and you can get on with the business of transferring your files.
Here’s an example of what you should be seeing:
