WeTransfer uptime
Measured from multiple regions every 6 hours. Percentages count only checks that returned an availability answer — 55 days measured so far. A dash means that window does not yet hold enough measured days to publish a figure.

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.
What WeTransfer does
WeTransfer moves large files between people without requiring an account, by uploading them once and emailing the recipient a download link. Designers, video editors and agencies use it to hand off work too big for email attachments, which means an outage tends to land in the middle of a delivery deadline rather than at a convenient moment.
What an outage looks like
Uploads stall partway and restart from the beginning, or the site refuses the file outright. Recipients opening an existing link get an error, or a download that stops mid-transfer. The notification email announcing a transfer never arrives, so the recipient does not learn anything was sent. Previews fail to render while downloads themselves still work.
What to do about it
Check status.wetransfer.com, which reports Uploads, Downloads, Email and Previews as separate components, so a failing upload does not mean existing links are dead. Send the recipient the transfer link directly if the notification email has not arrived, since Email and Downloads are tracked independently. Hold off restarting a large upload until Uploads is healthy.
Is it down for everyone, or just you?

How we measure this
- We request WeTransfer's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 8 of them.
- A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A
403or429means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage. - A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
- Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
- Where WeTransfer publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
