Share a Client Photo Link Without Logins: How It Works
Share a Client Photo Link Without Logins: How It Works
Clients hate attachments. They just want a link that opens. With WorkFotos, you create a project by address, add photos and PDFs, and share a single view-only URL. Viewers do not need an account. Your team controls uploads; clients simply click and see the latest.
Why a view-only link beats attachments and folders
- Always current: The same URL updates as you add photos or files.
- No friction: Opens in any browser—no logins or new apps for clients.
- Cleaner story: One gallery tied to the job address keeps context.
- Less support: Fewer “I can’t find it” emails and resend requests.
Set up the link in minutes
- Create a project by street address. That address becomes the anchor for photos, notes, and documents.
- Add photos from your phone. Take wide shots for context, then details. Upload as you go.
- Annotate only what matters. Short labels like “primer coat” or “GFCI added” reduce back-and-forth.
- Attach PDFs. Plans, permits, proposals, decks—keep files with the photos.
- Generate a view-only link. Share it once; reuse it for updates and final handoff.
What clients see
- A clean gallery organized by the project address.
- On-photo notes where you added them.
- Related PDFs in the same place for context.
- No login screens—just the latest record.
Best practices for clear, quick viewing
- Name the project clearly: “123 Oak St – Kitchen remodel” or “Main Hall AV – June 12.”
- Use a simple shot pattern: Before → During → After (same angles).
- Keep labels short: Two to four words, high signal, low clutter.
- Attach the right files: Latest deck/spec/permit only—avoid duplicates.
