Secure Client Document Sharing
Client work depends on trust, but it also requires professional boundaries. When you send a file attachment or a downloadable link, you give up control: the client can forward it, store it anywhere, and keep copies forever. For proposals, deliverables, contracts, and strategy documents, that is not always acceptable.
LinkVault gives you a secure document viewer that is designed for client sharing. You deliver the document through a viewer link and apply access rules that match the engagement: passwords, expirations, watermarks, and (when available on your plan) approvals.

Why Clients Benefit from View-Only Sharing
Clients want a smooth experience. A viewer link is frictionless: open in a browser, read immediately, and move forward. They do not have to download a file, manage versions, or worry about where the file ends up on their device.
For you, view-only sharing reduces version confusion and reduces risk. You can update the workflow, revoke access if needed, and keep sensitive documents from turning into unmanaged duplicates.
How LinkVault Protects Client Shares
Professional Viewer Links
Share a clean, focused viewing experience instead of a raw file download. This discourages casual distribution and keeps access aligned with your intent.
Expiration & View Limits
Use expirations to keep access short-lived. Use view limits for one-time review links or controlled previews.
Watermarking for Accountability
Watermarking discourages screenshots and makes misuse less likely, especially for designs, creative drafts, and IP-sensitive documents.
Client Sharing Best Practices
For proposals and contracts, add password protection and a reasonable expiration window. For deliverables, watermark and shorten viewing windows when IP is sensitive. When a project ends, revoke access or let links expire. If a client needs access longer term, create a new link per milestone instead of leaving old links active indefinitely.
- Use view-only links for proposals and deliverables
- Add passwords for confidential materials
- Expire links after each milestone
- Watermark IP-sensitive documents
- Revoke access when the engagement ends
