Step 1: Accessing WeTransfer
The first thing you’ll need to do is visit the WeTransfer website. Simply open your preferred web browser and enter “www.wetransfer.com” into the address bar. Hit enter and you should be directed to the WeTransfer homepage.
Step 2: Choosing and Adding Photos
Once you’re on the WeTransfer homepage, you’ll notice a large “Add your files” button. Click on it, and a file explorer window will pop up. Locate the folder where your photos are stored and select all the images you wish to send. You can also drag and drop the photos directly onto the WeTransfer page.
Step 3: Entering Recipient Details
After selecting your photos, you’ll need to provide the recipient’s email address. In the “Email to” field, enter the email address of the person you want to send the photos to. You can send the photos to multiple recipients by separating their email addresses with commas.
Step 4: Providing Your Email Address
In order to receive a confirmation email once your photos have been downloaded by the recipient, you’ll need to enter your own email address. Simply fill in the “Your email” field with your preferred email address.
Step 5: Adding a Message (Optional)
If you’d like to include a personalized message along with your photos, you can do so by typing your message in the “Message” field. This step is optional, but it’s a great way to add a personal touch to your file transfer.
Step 6: Transferring the Photos
Once you’ve completed all the previous steps, you’re ready to initiate the transfer process. Click on the “Transfer” button to start uploading your photos to WeTransfer’s servers. The time required for the transfer will depend on the size of your photos and your internet connection speed, so be patient.
Step 7: Completing the Transfer
After the transfer process is complete, you’ll see a confirmation message on the screen. WeTransfer will also send a confirmation email to both you and the recipient(s). The recipient(s) will receive an email with a download link, allowing them to access and save the photos on their own device.
Step 8: Deleting Files
It’s important to note that WeTransfer only stores your files for a limited amount of time (usually 7 days). If you want to remove the files from WeTransfer’s servers before that time, simply click on the “More options” icon (three dots) next to your transfer on the confirmation screen and select “Delete transfer.”
