Everyday sharing compared

How should you exchange client documents?

Email, WhatsApp, paper or a shared folder: choose according to how you work with your client.

Find the right way to share.

A one-off delivery and a project with several rounds of feedback may need different approaches. Each comparison offers a direct answer, a table and a practical example.

DocBunker vs email

Email or a client portal for your documents?

Email works for sending a single expected document to one recipient. A DocBunker folder becomes useful when you need to keep several files, versions and comments together throughout a project. You can keep using email to send the folder link and announce the next step.

DocBunker vs WhatsApp

WhatsApp or a client folder for sending documents?

WhatsApp suits a quick request or a one-off file in a conversation you already use. A DocBunker folder becomes useful when you need to organize documents by project, with a place to view files, upload them and leave feedback. You can send the folder link through WhatsApp.

DocBunker vs paper

Paper or an online folder for client documents?

Paper suits an in-person handover, reading during a meeting or documents your process requires you to keep in their original form. A DocBunker folder suits remote file exchanges, documents received during a project and comments. You can use both approaches together.

DocBunker vs Google Drive

Google Drive or a client portal for your exchanges?

Google Drive is excellent for working on documents together, especially if the people you work with already have a Google account. A DocBunker folder makes sense when the client simply needs to upload or view files, without an account and without access to the rest of your space, through a link you can expire and revoke. You can keep Drive for production and use DocBunker for the exchange with the client.

DocBunker vs SharePoint

SharePoint or a client portal for external exchanges?

SharePoint and OneDrive are built for the inside of a Microsoft 365 organisation: document management, permissions, Teams integration. External sharing with clients is possible, but it depends on administrator settings and often relies on a guest account or a verification code. A DocBunker folder is simpler when what you need is one space per client, with no account.

DocBunker vs WeTransfer

WeTransfer or a client folder for your documents?

A transfer service such as WeTransfer is made to send one or more files, sometimes very large ones, to someone who has to collect them. It is generally designed for a one-way send with a limited lifetime. A DocBunker folder fits when the exchange goes on: the client uploads, comments, and you find everything in one place. For very large files, a transfer service is often still the better tool.
