Keep the design revision and the client’s feedback together.

Droplana is a client portal for designers to send concepts and final files, receive brand assets and keep feedback on the file being discussed. Each client has one private, persistent portal with no signup.

A Drive link for the files, a Figma link for the prototype, a chat thread for feedback and an email for the logo. By Round 3, nobody is sure which "final" the client approved. One portal per client keeps the concepts, the replies and the returned assets together.

A client portal for designers, from brief to revision

Ask the client for their logo, fonts, copy and product photographs. Upload an exported concept as Homepage Concepts - Round 2.pdf and identify the decision you need. The client comments on that PDF; you upload the next round as a new, clearly named file.

Actual product view with the fictional Alder & Finch Skincare client. The request refers to page 2 in text; it is not an annotation pinned to the design.

In this example, the client asks for a different product photo while keeping the headline. Reply on the file, make the change in your design application, then upload Round 3. Earlier rounds remain separate files. Tell the client which round to review; Droplana does not choose it for them.

From client assets to final delivery

1. Collect the brief. Use a document checklist for the copy, brand guidelines and images needed to begin.
2. Send concepts. Export from Figma, Adobe or Affinity. A prototype link can go in a comment on a related PDF; the external tool's sharing settings still control access.
3. Review the named file. The client leaves comments and can mark it Approved or Rejected. Either side can change or clear the status, so keep any formal review gate in your own process.
4. Deliver the agreed files. Upload source files and exports within your plan's limits. ZIP downloads support up to 2 GB or 2,000 files; larger sets need folder download in a Chromium browser.

Brand designers can share discovery documents and final brand systems. Web designers can exchange wireframes and handover specifications. Packaging designers can send dielines and renders. For team delivery, see Droplana for agencies.

Check the fit before moving a project

Feedback is text attached to a file. There are no pinned image annotations, side-by-side comparisons or automatic version stacks, so keep your proofing tool if those are part of your review process. A client with several projects still has one portal, without project folders or project-level permissions. Use filenames to distinguish jobs and rounds. There is no document editing, presentation tool, real-time chat or connector to your design software.

Your logo can appear in the portal on every plan. There is no custom domain or custom accent colour, and a small Droplana footer remains. Files are stored in Germany and encrypted at rest per file; the security page explains the access model.

If briefs and revision exports currently live in shared folders, see the cloud-drive comparison. The client portal guide covers what to check when choosing a client-facing exchange alongside your design tools.

Questions before you start

Choose a plan for your document exchange

On Free, each file expires 180 days after upload. Your clients and their access stay active, so you can keep sharing new files. Active paid plans have no plan-imposed retention limit. Expiry settings, deletion and cancellation rules still apply; a persistent portal address does not guarantee permanent file availability. Team sizes include you. No setup fees or automatic overage charges. Prices exclude applicable tax.
