Present your photos and RAW files in a gallery. Your client selects online; you deliver only what they keep via FileVert transfer. Sovereign alternative to closed WeTransfer Portals, with EU hosting.
Collab Selection restores the Portals intent: present photos, videos or audio, let the client choose, deliver only what is kept. Online gallery, no-account selection, integrated transfer, EU hosting and controlled duration.
From gallery to retouched delivery: up to 3 months for selection, then 7 days (Solo) or 15 days (Pro) for final download.
Create your gallery and upload photos and RAW files at full size. Clients see thumbnails (optional watermark); originals stay protected during selection.
One link per project, shareable again. Optional password for the whole journey. Open the selection phase when you are ready.
After entering their email, the client browses the gallery, picks photos, comments if needed and confirms when ready.
When you have enough feedback, close collection and retouch at your pace, still within the 3-month window.
The same link becomes a classic transfer: clients download retouched files. The countdown starts when you publish: 7 days on Solo, 15 days on Pro.
WeTransfer closed WeTransfer Portals in late 2025. Collab Selection keeps the intent (present, let choose, deliver) with sovereign hosting and integrated delivery.
