Client sharing guide
How to share construction photos with clients without sending a messy folder.
Clients want proof and progress, not a scavenger hunt through raw files. A clean sharing workflow gives them the right photos, keeps your internal project record intact, and lets your team remove access when the review is done.
share construction photos with clients
A practical field-to-office workflow.
Part 1
Choose the right sharing scope
Start by deciding how much the client actually needs to see. More photos are not always clearer.
- Use a whole-project link for broad progress review.
- Use a section link for one area or phase.
- Use selected-photo links for specific proof or approvals.
Part 2
Add context before sending
A link is more useful when the photos are already organized. Sort the gallery first so the client sees a clean story.
- Group photos by section or phase.
- Use a short internal note to identify why the link exists.
- Set an expiration when access should be temporary.
Part 3
Review access after the decision
Client photo sharing should not become permanent by accident. Access history gives the team a cleanup habit.
- Check which links are still active.
- Stop links that are no longer needed.
- Create separate links for different stakeholders when needed.

What is the easiest way to share construction photos with a client?
Use a private project photo link after organizing the photos by project and section. That gives the client a clearer view than a raw folder or text thread.
Can different clients or stakeholders get different links?
Yes. ProjectRoll can create separate private links for different people, and each link can be managed separately.
