Use case

How do I send five file types in one delivery?

Upload everything from the job to its site: the 360 photos, the orthomosaic, the point cloud, the model, the drawings, the report. Send one link. Every file opens in the browser in the right viewer, on the same site map, and the client moves between them with a filmstrip.

A job produces six kinds of file. A folder makes them all look the same.

scan_001_merged.las tells the client nothing, and neither does the fourth link in the email.

YouTube for the video, Drive for the ortho, email for the PDF, a drive for the scan.

Four links, four logins, and a client who opens one of them.

One link.

Everything from the job on one branded page. Point cloud, ortho, model, 360 photos, video, DXF, PDF, each in its own viewer, one click apart.

Filenames instead of a delivery.

A folder of scan_001_merged.las, ortho_final_v3.tif and DJI_0042.mp4 is a puzzle, not a deliverable.

Every file recognised on upload, labelled, placed on the map.

Swyvl reads each format, picks the viewer, pulls the location from the file and puts it on the site map. The client sees what each thing is and where it sits.

One link per client, per job, per revision.

Send a corrected ortho and the old link is wrong, so a new link goes out, and now there are two.

One link per site, editable after it is sent.

Add files, change the access mode, add a password: the link stays the same. Set it to include future uploads and new files appear without another email.

What goes on the link

Every one of these opens in the browser, in its own viewer, on the same page.

In practice

A photogrammetry firm doing inspection work on industrial sites

Each site goes out as one link: the orthomosaic, a 3D tileset of the plant, and Xgrids Gaussian splats of the areas an inspector needs to walk. The site owner's engineers open it in a browser, measure on it, and come back to the same link when the next capture lands.

How it works

1

Upload the job

Drag every file from the job onto the site. Swyvl files them under the visit and picks a viewer for each.

2

One link

Branded with your logo and colours. View-only or view-and-download, open or password-protected or named people.

3

The client explores

A filmstrip moves between files. Connected 360 photos become a walkthrough. The ortho and the scan sit on the same map.

Nine in ten Swyvl share links get opened by the client. Free to start, no credit card.

One link. The whole job.

Questions people ask first

Which file types can go on one link?
Any file Swyvl opens: point clouds, orthomosaics and DEMs, 3D Tiles, meshes, IFC, DXF, Gaussian splats, Xgrids scans, 360 photos and video, drone video with GPS, PDFs and images. Files it cannot open are still stored and downloadable.
Can I add files after the link has gone out?
Yes. Share links are editable after creation: add or remove files, change the access mode, add a password. Set a link to include future uploads and new files appear without a new link.
Can the client upload back to me on the same link?
Yes. A share link can accept uploads, so a client or subcontractor sends files back into the site without an account. Turn it on or off at any time.
Do 360 photos become a tour?
Yes. Connected 360 photos link into a street-view-style walkthrough with a minimap. Upload a GPX track from the walk and the photos are placed along it.
