Hi, I was wondering how you sent digital files to clients once they'e made a purchase. I've been using both Dropbox and Google Drive, but would be interested in learning about any other services out there? All the best, Lynn

I don't sell photos but I do work with digital media and find wetransfer a useful tool for sending large files.
I am sure the professional photographers here will be able to offer more relevant suggestions. I guess offering a permanent link to allow them to download the files would be useful - or at least a link that exists for a certain period of time. |

| I don't sell photos, either, but I have to send out marketing materials (jpgs, PDFs, etc) and I use Microsoft's "OneDrive". |

| I use shootproof.com is free for 100 files and then a pay plan after that. They can order and download their files and they do the payments for you. |

| I use a password protected USB drive with files loaded and mail it to the client. |

| I smack them real good with a flyswatter and plop them into a baggie and an envelope. Pretty much the same as for spiders. |

I give them to them on a DVD with one of the pictures from the shoot as a beautiful, personalized label. They love it, and it makes it feel a little more like they are purchasing "something" worth the money they are paying.

| Dropbox link to customers buying images for use on their websites. For images destined to be wall art, I never send images suitable for printing… just good enough for the customer to envision. Dropbox is good for this, as some people have limits on email file size. For images going to magazines, newspapers, televison stations, etc., they usually have pretty good FTP-like system. If not, then it's Dropbox again, due to ease of use. |

I think it depends on the client. For wedding, baby, and other "personal" type shoots, Sandy's method is preferable, but slower. For "professional" (i.e. commercial) clients, either their FTP system, dropbox, or dropbox-equivalent (sometimes they'll tell you how to send). |

I don't sell anything either, but I use wetransfer when I need to send heavy files for a friend, always work and it's safe. |
