Wedding coverage, event documentary, commercial stills — shooting tens of GB in a single day is routine. The hard part isn't the shoot; it's the handover: WeChat won't send the files, zipping crushes the quality, and clients often can't even open RAW; cloud drives put your client in a throttled download queue; burning discs and shipping takes days across cities. Until the photos go out, selection and the final payment just keep waiting.
WringCloud is a large-file delivery platform, and photo delivery is one of its most typical use cases: drag the whole originals folder into WringCloud and generate a delivery link — clients open it in a browser to preview online or download the originals, no sign-up, nothing to install. Files arrive exactly as they left your card, and the SHA256 checksum guarantees they match the copy you exported bit for bit. Every view and download leaves a receipt, so whether the client has picked up the photos is clear at a glance.
Deliver the originals in three steps
Upload the whole folder, generate a delivery link
Create folders per shoot or per client, drag the originals in wholesale, set the extraction password, expiry, and download limit, and generate the link in one click. When both sides are online it's P2P direct transfer — free with no throttling; when the client is offline, cloud secure relay takes over, billed by download traffic (traffic packs from ¥1 = 2 GB).
Clients pick online with the password, download anytime
Just send the link and password over WeChat. The client clicks through to preview and pick online, then downloads the keepers directly — full-quality files with no transcoding and no compression; RAW and JPG arrive exactly as they left your card.
Receipts confirm, then follow up on selection
When the client opened the link and when they downloaded — the receipts remember every detail. No more asking 'did you get it?'; selection reminders and extra-shot follow-ups finally land on target, and delivery is properly closed.
How common delivery methods compare
For the same 50 GB of photo originals, here's how the usual delivery methods really differ (based on each product's current behavior):
| Delivery method | Size limit | Speed | Install / sign-up needed? | Receipts? | Professionalism |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WeChat / QQ file transfer | Per-file size caps; tens of GB simply won't send | Okay when both sides are online; waiting when offline | Requires the matching chat app | None, and files expire | Fine for daily chat; feels casual for formal delivery |
| Cloud drive sharing | Storage depends on your plan | Large-file downloads throttled without membership | Smoother with an account and the desktop client | No download receipts | Links scattered across chats; versions hard to trace |
| Email attachment | Attachments typically capped at a few dozen MB | Slow | Nothing special to install | None | Tens of GB of originals won't send, period |
| Disc / courier | A single disc holds only so much | Shipping measured in days | Nothing to install | None | Labor and shipping costs; long cross-city lead times |
| WringCloud delivery link | 10 GB per file after sign-up; unlimited via LAN direct transfer on plans | Full gigabit on LAN; end-to-end encrypted relay across networks | Opens in a browser; recipients need no account | Receipts and audit trail for both views and downloads | Password + expiry + download limit, SHA256 check against tampering |
The above is an objective comparison of common usage patterns and is not a commentary on other products.
FAQ
Do I need to ZIP tens of GB of originals before sending?
No. WringCloud delivers the original files folder by folder, intact, with resumable transfers for large files, and a SHA256 checksum guarantees the client downloads exactly what you exported. Online preview is just for convenient picking and never affects the downloaded files.
Will the client's download be throttled?
When both sides are online, P2P direct transfer is free with no throttling; when the client is offline or the direct connection is poor, traffic goes through cloud secure relay, billed by download traffic (traffic packs from ¥1 = 2 GB). The recipient pays nothing and downloads as usual.
How do I keep proofing previews and originals separate?
Send two links: one for the proofs, one for the originals, with receipts recorded separately. The originals can wait in 'My Library' (from 50 GB on the Personal plan); once the client confirms their picks, send the matching link — no repeated re-uploading.
What if I don't want the client to take all the originals at once?
Links support a download limit and an expiry date, and they deactivate automatically when either is reached. Combined with the extraction password, you control the delivery rhythm. To release photos in batches, just generate a link per batch.
Delivering originals shouldn't be heavy lifting. Head back to the WringCloud homepage, drop in a folder, and try it — sending is free; if anything is unclear, browse the FAQ first.
