WeTransfer to OneDrive, without downloading a thing

Paste a WeTransfer link and WetoDrive saves the files straight into your OneDrive. No waiting on a download, no uploading it all again, and no space used on your laptop or phone.

Straight into OneDrive

No more downloading a WeTransfer to your computer and dragging it into OneDrive. The files go from WeTransfer to your OneDrive directly.

No space used on your device

Nothing lands in your Downloads folder, so a delivery of 40GB of footage never fills up a laptop or a phone on the way to OneDrive.

Checked before it starts

Your free OneDrive space is checked before a single file is fetched, so a full OneDrive is flagged in seconds, not after an hour of waiting.

How to save a WeTransfer to OneDrive

Three steps the first time. After that it is just the link.

Continue with Microsoft

Allow WetoDrive on Microsoft's own screen. That also sets up your WetoDrive account, so there is no password to create.

Paste the link

Any WeTransfer link works, short we.tl links and full download URLs. Add a folder if you want the files somewhere tidy.

Walk away

Close the tab if you like. The transfer keeps running, and we email you when the files are in your OneDrive.

Made for real deliveries, not just one small file

Rushes, stills, masters and client folders. The things that are too big to download twice.

Big files take the direct route

Files over 1GB stream from WeTransfer to OneDrive in pieces, without ever being saved on our servers. If a connection drops, the upload picks up where it left off.

Your folders, your naming

Type a path like Clients/Acme/Day 2 and the folders are created as the files arrive. Large files are saved one by one, ready to open in OneDrive.

Nothing gets overwritten

If a file with the same name is already in that folder, OneDrive keeps both and numbers the new one. Your existing work is never replaced.

What WetoDrive does with your OneDrive

  • It only saves what you sendThe connection is used to save the files from your WeTransfer link and to check your free space. WetoDrive does not browse, move, share or delete anything already in your OneDrive.
  • Your files are not keptLarge files stream straight through. Smaller ones pass through a temporary copy that is deleted the moment the upload finishes. We are a pipe, not a warehouse.
  • Disconnect whenever you likeOne button deletes the token we keep, so WetoDrive can no longer reach your OneDrive. You can also remove WetoDrive from the apps list in your Microsoft account settings.
What Microsoft will ask you to allow
Have full access to your files to save into the folder you choose
Sign you in and read your profile to set up your WetoDrive account
Your email, contacts or calendar
Files other people share with you
Your account settings

Microsoft groups file access broadly, so saving into a folder you pick needs access to your files. WetoDrive only ever adds files. Microsoft also lists "Maintain access to data you have given it access to", which is what lets a long transfer finish after you close the tab.

WeTransfer to OneDrive: the questions people ask first

Do I need a WeTransfer account?

No. You only need the link somebody sent you, either a short we.tl link or a full wetransfer.com download link.

Do I need a Google account to save to OneDrive?

No. Continue with Microsoft and your WetoDrive account is set up from your Microsoft account, with no password to create. If you already use WetoDrive with Google under the same email address, you land in that same account with the same plan.

Does it work with a work or school OneDrive?

Yes, as well as personal OneDrive. Some organisations only let their IT admin approve new apps. If Microsoft says you need an admin's approval, ask them to approve WetoDrive, or use a personal Microsoft account.

Where in my OneDrive do the files go?

Into the folder you type, such as Clients/Acme. Folders that do not exist yet are created for you. Leave the folder empty and the files go to the top level of your OneDrive.

What if a file with the same name is already there?

Nothing is overwritten. OneDrive keeps both, and the new file gets a number added to its name, like "report 1.pdf".

What happens if my OneDrive is full?

We check your free space before fetching anything. If the transfer will not fit, you are told straight away how much space it needs and how much you have, rather than finding out after a long download. Free OneDrive accounts come with 5 GB.

How big a file can I move?

Your WetoDrive plan sets the limit, the same as for Google Drive, and your OneDrive needs the free space for it. OneDrive itself takes files up to 250 GB each, so anything bigger needs to go to Google Drive or Dropbox. The pricing page lists what each plan allows.

Can I close the tab while it runs?

Yes. The transfer runs on our servers, so you can close the tab or shut your laptop. We email you when the files are in your OneDrive, and this page shows the result if you come back.

Do you keep a copy of my files?

No. Files over 1GB stream from WeTransfer to OneDrive without being stored on our servers. Smaller files pass through a temporary copy that is deleted as soon as the upload finishes.

Does it work with expired or password-protected links?

No. WeTransfer links stop working once they expire, which is after a few days on the free plan, and password-protected transfers cannot be opened. Ask the sender for a fresh link.

How do I disconnect OneDrive?

Use the Disconnect OneDrive button on this page. It deletes the token we keep, so WetoDrive can no longer reach your OneDrive. To remove WetoDrive from your Microsoft account as well, use the list of apps with access in your Microsoft account settings.

That WeTransfer link is going to expire

Get the files into your OneDrive before it does. The first transfer is on us.
