Photo delivery for photographers — full-resolution, client-ready
Delivering a shoot is the last impression you make. The edit is finished, the color is right, the culling is done — and then the client opens a zip file named something like Finals_v3_SEND.zip. That gap between the quality of the work and the quality of the handoff is what Filolio closes.
What delivery should feel like
A client receiving finished photos deserves the same care as a client sitting in a viewing session. A clean, browsable gallery with a lightbox. A password, so the images stay between you and them until they choose to share. A link that works on any device, opens in seconds, and doesn't expire.
Raw folder links and transfer services solve logistics. They don't solve presentation. Filolio does both — your existing cloud storage becomes the backend; the gallery is the experience your clients see.
How it works
Organize your edited photos in a Google Drive or Dropbox folder — the same way you probably already do. Make the folder accessible, paste the link into Filolio, and your gallery is live in under a minute.
Clients get a URL. They browse a full lightbox, view images at full size, download individual photos or the entire set. Every file is the original — full resolution, no recompression, straight from your cloud storage. Add images to the folder after delivery and they appear in the gallery automatically.
What "delivery" means here
Filolio is not a storefront, a proofing tool, or a print fulfillment platform. It doesn't ask clients to select favorites or place orders. It does one thing: takes finished photographs and presents them as finished photographs — beautifully, securely, and without asking your client to do anything except open a link.

Common questions
- What size and resolution are the files clients receive?
- Full size, full resolution — exactly what you uploaded to your Drive or Dropbox folder. Nothing is recompressed, resized, or converted. Clients download the original files byte-for-byte.
- Do clients need to create an account to view or download?
- No. Clients open the link, enter the gallery password if you set one, and can browse or download immediately. No sign-up, no app install, no friction on their end.
- Can I add more photos after I've already delivered the gallery?
- Yes. The gallery reads directly from your Drive or Dropbox folder. Add files to the folder and they appear in the gallery — no re-sharing or editing needed.
- How long does the gallery stay live?
- As long as your Filolio account is active and the underlying folder remains shared. There are no expiry timers or countdown clocks. The link you give a client is the link that stays.
