Anything less, and you\u2019ll be doing yourself and your clients a disservice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what\u2019s the most efficient method of sharing your work? How about a <a href=\"https:\/\/glb.ee\/upload-model\">free online 3D model viewer<\/a>? One that lets you instantly share your work with clients and has a range of features like real-time comments, AR viewing, and customer branding, amongst others. For that, there\u2019s always glb.ee. But maybe we should talk about those other methods before we get to that&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sharing 3D models via Email<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"605\" src=\"https:\/\/glb.ee\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Using20Email20To20Share203D20Models20With20You20Clients-1.jpg\" alt=\"Using Email To Share 3D Models With You Clients\" class=\"wp-image-138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glb.ee\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Using20Email20To20Share203D20Models20With20You20Clients-1.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/glb.ee\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Using20Email20To20Share203D20Models20With20You20Clients-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/glb.ee\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Using20Email20To20Share203D20Models20With20You20Clients-1-1024x574.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/glb.ee\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Using20Email20To20Share203D20Models20With20You20Clients-1-768x430.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s get the most obvious method out of the way first, shall we? Emailing 3D model files to your client might seem like the best option because it\u2019s simple: we all know how to email. Sure, you can send virtually any file type via email, which is handy. However, there are pitfalls.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the file size isn\u2019t within the limits of your client\u2019s email server, then you\u2019ve wasted your time. It\u2019s also likely that your client won\u2019t have the correct software needed to open the file, meaning they\u2019ll have to download this. For some clients, this might not be an issue, but there\u2019s always the chance they could get a little frustrated. 3D model viewing software can be a little complicated to navigate, too. The last thing you need is to be wasting time giving a detailed, step-by-step tutorial. It\u2019s not like you can bill for this. You\u2019re welcome to try of course, but your client won\u2019t be best pleased.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, transferring these detailed (and often confidential) files via email just isn\u2019t very professional, and we can\u2019t have that. Email isn\u2019t a particularly secure method either, so it\u2019s not the best option for sending sensitive information.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>File-Sharing 3D Models<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"605\" src=\"https:\/\/glb.ee\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Using20File20Sharing20To20Share203D20Models20With20Your20Clients.jpg\" alt=\"Using File Sharing To Share 3D Models With Your Clients\" class=\"wp-image-142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glb.ee\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Using20File20Sharing20To20Share203D20Models20With20Your20Clients.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/glb.ee\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Using20File20Sharing20To20Share203D20Models20With20Your20Clients-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/glb.ee\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Using20File20Sharing20To20Share203D20Models20With20Your20Clients-1024x574.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/glb.ee\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Using20File20Sharing20To20Share203D20Models20With20Your20Clients-768x430.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Services like Dropbox and Google Drive are other common ways of sharing your 3D models with clients, and they certainly do have their pros. Firstly, they\u2019re cloud-based, meaning that they\u2019re great for sharing large files. The more specialised platforms, such as WeTransfer, are designed specifically for this. They also boast features like high transfer speeds, link expiration dates, and password protection. This is particularly useful for confidential files. Many also have built-in collaboration tools that allow users to view, comment on, and edit files.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, much like email, these services are limited, and they\u2019re not specifically catered towards sharing 3D models. Again, your client may not have the software needed to access the file, so they\u2019ll have to go through the whole hassle of installation. The transferring process can also lead to file corruption, which could frustrate your client. The last thing you need is an unhappy client, or worse, a one-star review (insert sad emoji here).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3D File Transfer Using Flash Drive<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"605\" src=\"https:\/\/glb.ee\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Using20Flash20Drives20to20SHare203D20Models20With20Clients.jpg\" alt=\"Using Flash Drives to Share 3D Models With Clients\" class=\"wp-image-144\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glb.ee\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Using20Flash20Drives20to20SHare203D20Models20With20Clients.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/glb.ee\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Using20Flash20Drives20to20SHare203D20Models20With20Clients-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/glb.ee\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Using20Flash20Drives20to20SHare203D20Models20With20Clients-1024x574.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/glb.ee\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Using20Flash20Drives20to20SHare203D20Models20With20Clients-768x430.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, flash drives are easy to use, and they can hold gigabytes of data. And yes, they can be accessed offline, so they\u2019re great for using on the go. They also give you a physical copy of the file; one that you can put in your pocket. However, there are drawbacks, too. We\u2019ve already mentioned the difficulty with installing new software, so we won\u2019t labour that point again. Their most obvious shortcoming is that they\u2019re a form of physical file transfer. This might be all right if your client is just down the hall, but that\u2019s extremely unlikely. In fact, in today\u2019s world it\u2019s possible they\u2019re not in the same city, or country. You\u2019re welcome to send your flash drive by postal service, but we don\u2019t need to tell you how impractical \u2013 and unprofessional \u2013 this is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Best Way to Share 3D Models with Clients<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, emailing your models is fine, and so is file-sharing, but they\u2019re not the most professional methods of sharing your work.
