ClientShare

Feature overview

Everything small firms need to stop emailing files.

ClientShare gives you client workspaces, secure upload requests, clear access rules, and activity visibility in one hosted workflow. If your team needs more control later, the same product direction stays open to self-hosting.

One place for each client

Less inbox chaos. Less guessing where the latest file lives.

Requests and deliveries with context

Ask for uploads or share files without switching people between tools.

A cleaner security story

Access controls, expiring links, and optional accounts without enterprise sprawl.

Client workspaces

Give each client one place for requests, uploads, and delivered documents instead of scattering them across inbox threads.

  • Keep active files tied to the right client
  • Bring repeat uploads back to the same portal
  • Present a branded experience instead of generic links

Secure requests and deliveries

Send upload requests or read-only deliveries with the access rules, expiry, and simplicity a small firm can actually maintain.

  • Ask for uploads without opening the full workspace
  • Deliver files with view or download access when needed
  • Use optional client accounts only when persistent access makes sense

Clear roles and permissions

Make access obvious for staff and clients so sensitive documents do not depend on guesswork or long email instructions.

  • Support admin, manager, and client roles
  • Set read and write access for different workflows
  • Keep the rules understandable enough to use every day

Activity you can follow

See when files were shared, viewed, or uploaded so your team can follow up from facts instead of memory.

  • Track recent portal activity in one place
  • Reduce back-and-forth about missing documents
  • Help staff stay aligned without checking multiple tools

A client portal workflow your team can actually keep using.

The point is not to add another complicated system. The point is to replace scattered email habits with one clear place to send files, request uploads, and keep the document exchange moving.

01

Create the client workspace

Set up one clear destination for that client instead of creating another thread that will get lost later.

02

Send a portal invite or upload request

Choose the lightest path for the job: a full workspace, a secure delivery, or a targeted upload request.

03

Let clients upload or review files

Clients use a simple portal flow that feels familiar, especially if they already use document portals elsewhere.

04

Keep work moving with shared visibility

Your team sees what arrived, what changed, and what still needs follow-up without rebuilding context from email.

Small firms use it differently. The job stays the same.

If your team regularly sends sensitive files to clients, asks for uploads, or needs a cleaner client-facing workflow than email, the portal structure translates well.

Request tax documents, deliver returns, and keep prior-year files tied to the right client instead of buried in email.

Collect engagement letters, case files, and supporting documents without training clients on a heavy system.

Share drafts, collect uploads, and keep client deliverables organized when projects involve regular back-and-forth.

Start hosted now. Keep self-hosting as an option.

For most small firms, the hosted version is the fastest way to stop sending sensitive files through email. If your requirements change later, the open-source path is still there.
