Does WeTransfer tell you when someone downloads your file? (And how to see who opened it)
WeTransfer emails you when a transfer is downloaded and marks it as downloaded, but it cannot tell you if someone only previewed it, how long they looked or, on a link transfer, who it was. What it reports, how tracked downloads get you names, and how to see opens instead of downloads.

How long do WeTransfer links last? Free vs Starter vs Ultimate expiry (2026)

Google Drive links have no time limit: they last as long as the file exists and its sharing setting stays open. What ends them is always an action, restricting access, an expiration date on a work account, emptying the Trash or an inactive account. Each case, what the recipient sees, and how to set a real expiry.
