What Is a Client Share Link for Contractors?

A client share link is a single URL you send so clients can view job photos and progress without logging in. Here's how it works and why contractors use it.

A client share link is a read-only link you send to a client so they can view job photos, progress, and sometimes estimates or invoices in one place — without creating an account or downloading an app. Here's what it is and why it matters.


What It Is

  • One URL you copy and send (text, email, or from your app)
  • Opens in the browser — no login required for the client
  • Shows what you choose — typically selected job photos, often in before/after or phase order, and optionally the estimate or invoice
  • Professional — looks like a simple report or gallery, not a raw folder of files

Why Contractors Use It

  • No back-and-forth — "Where are the photos?" is answered with one link
  • Proof of work — client sees completion and quality without you texting a dozen images
  • Insurance and real estate — adjusters and agents can review a clean, timestamped photo set
  • Trust — looks more professional than a pile of attachments

How TimeFotos Does It

In TimeFotos, each job has an address-based workspace. You add photos (with automatic timestamps). You generate a client share link for that job and send it. The client opens the link and sees the photos (and optionally the estimate/invoice) in one read-only view. No signup, no app.

Bottom Line

A client share link is a single URL that gives your client (or an adjuster) a clean, read-only view of job photos and sometimes the invoice. It reduces clutter and builds trust. Use an app that generates it from your job so you're not building links manually.
