## About

File sharing service for sending large files up to 2GB via temporary download links

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, confirmed by community testing in February 2026 when the site returned an error from Syrian connections. A community volunteer contacted WeTransfer in March 2026; the company escalated the matter to its legal team for review, but in April 2026 its Trust and Safety team declined to restore access, stating the service is not available in Syria with no change at this time. No further progress since.

## Community reports

- 2026-04-29 — Declined. WeTransfer's Trust & Safety team responded via privacy@wetransfer.com to a community volunteer's earlier outreach, declining to restore access for users in Syria. The reply stated that the service is not currently available in Syria and that, after internal review, there is no change at this time. The response noted that the company regularly reviews where it operates and indicated hope that a future review may bring different news, but no specific timeline or compliance framework reference was provided. The reply is a substantive human review, not an automated acknowledgment.
- 2026-03-03 — Under Company Review. WeTransfer's privacy team responded via privacy@wetransfer.com acknowledging the unblocking request and confirming that the matter has been escalated to their legal team for review. The response indicated that the legal team will assess the updated sanctions framework, though no specific timeline was provided for a decision.
- 2026-03-02 — Company Responded. WeTransfer's support team responded to the unblocking request via an automated email from privacy@wetransfer.com, generating support ticket #2209890. The response acknowledged receipt and indicated a reply within 48 hours, directing to their Help Center for additional information. The response appears to be an automated acknowledgment rather than a human review.
- 2026-03-02 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed WeTransfer's privacy and trust team at privacy@wetransfer.com requesting a compliance review to restore access for users in Syria. The email referenced the December 2025 U.S. Treasury announcement lifting all Syria sanctions, the OFAC sanctions programs overview, and supporting documentation from unblocksyria.com/resources. The volunteer noted that other file-sharing services like Google Drive have already enabled access.
- 2026-03-02 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed WeTransfer's privacy team at privacy@wetransfer.com requesting a compliance review to restore access for users in Syria.

- 2026-02-23 — Investigated. Community testing confirmed that WeTransfer is blocked in Syria. Accessing wetransfer.com from a Syrian mobile browser returns an HTTP ERROR 400 (Bad Request) page with the message "This page isn't working." The site is completely inaccessible, preventing file transfers through the service.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
