As I've begun to do more video work, I needed to think of how I would send completed videos to clients. For photography, I normally use Pixieset which presents galleries beautifully to the end-user. However, Pixieset does not have an option for sharing videos at the moment. Earlier this month, I began researching a few low-cost video sharing platforms for delivering video. Below are three resources on how to send videos to clients.
DropBox
Dropbox is probably the most widely known among file-sharing hosts. The basic plan provides 2gb of storage, which doesn't seem like much if you are producing a lot of video projects. I think a simple hack around this would be to create separate dropbox accounts for each client. This will help in keeping your projects organized and self-contained in their own storage areas on Dropbox.
Google Drive
Another resource for sending videos to clients is Google Drive. Google has some of the best services and as a storage Google Drive his highly valuable. One drawback I've had with using Google Drive is permissions when it comes to sharing.
WeTransfer
The website WeTransfer is another online storage service that allows you to send videos to clients. Similar to DropBox, the service allows you to upload up to 2gbs of data to share with others. In contrast to Dropbox, you do not need to register in order to use the service.
Summary: How to Send Videos to Clients
To wrap up, these are just a few options for sending videos to clients. There are other options that I think are great such as Vimeo and FromSmash, which clients to view a video in the browser before downloading. If you have any tips or recommendations for video hosting services that you have used to send video please let me know.
