Hi there! It sounds like the WeTransfer link you sent to your email has expired, and you're unable to access the files anymore. Is that right? Just to clarify, did you receive any message about the link expiring, or does the link just not work when you click it?

Typically, WeTransfer links expire after a set period—usually 7 days for free accounts—and after that time, the files aren't accessible via the original link. However, if you are the sender and still have the original files, you can re-upload them and send a new transfer.

Here’s what you can do step-by-step:

1. Check the expiration period: Confirm when you sent the transfer. If it has been more than 7 days (or your plan's specific expiry period), the original link will no longer be active.

2. Re-upload your files: If you still have the files, go to the WeTransfer website and upload the files again to create a new transfer link.

3. Send the new link: After the upload is complete, send this new link to your own email or directly to the recipients.

4. Consider WeTransfer Plus: If you find yourself needing longer transfer availability, WeTransfer Plus allows you to set custom expiration dates and recover expired transfers for files under 256 MB for up to one year.

Unfortunately, once a free transfer expires, it cannot be reactivated or recovered directly through the expired link—you would need to send a new one3 2.

Do you still have the original files with you? If so, I can guide you through re-uploading them. If not, let me know, and we can explore other options.
