Does the recipiet of wetransfer receive a mail

When you send a file through WeTransfer, the recipient receives an email notification with a link to download the file. However, the recipient's email address is not shared with WeTransfer, and WeTransfer does not receive a copy of the email.

Here's what happens:

  1. You upload your file to WeTransfer and enter the recipient's email address.
  2. WeTransfer generates a unique download link for the file and sends an email to the recipient with this link.
  3. The recipient receives the email and can click on the link to download the file.
  4. WeTransfer does not receive a copy of the email or the recipient's email address. The email is sent directly from WeTransfer's servers to the recipient's email inbox.

WeTransfer's privacy policy states that they do not collect or store email addresses or any other personal data from the sender or recipient. They only store the file and the download link for a limited period, usually 21 days, before it is deleted.

So, to answer your question, WeTransfer does not receive a copy of the email sent to the recipient. The email is sent directly from WeTransfer's servers to the recipient's email inbox, and WeTransfer only stores the file and the download link temporarily.
