Give clients one clear place to access and exchange files
Riverton gives each client a shared workspace where files and documents can sit alongside the communication, tasks, approvals, onboarding, and project work they relate to.
Client files should have a clear place to live
Client files are often exchanged throughout a relationship. A business may send a document to a client, request supporting files, share project deliverables, or collect information needed to continue the work.
When those files are spread across email attachments, shared folders, cloud storage links, chat messages, and different project tools, it can become difficult for both the client and the team to know where to find the right document.
Riverton gives clients a dedicated workspace for accessing and exchanging files while keeping those files connected to the broader client relationship.
Replace scattered file exchanges with one consistent client workspace
A client file portal is not simply another place to store documents. Its value comes from giving clients a clear place to work with a business and the files that are part of that work.
Give every client a dedicated place for files
Clients have a consistent workspace to return to when they need to access documents or exchange files with your team.
Keep files connected to client work
Files can sit alongside relevant communication, tasks, projects, and other client activity instead of existing as isolated exchanges.
Make document exchange easier
Give your team and clients a clearer place to exchange the files needed throughout the working relationship.
Reduce repeated file requests
When clients know where to find shared files, there is less need to repeatedly search through old conversations or ask where a document was sent.
Keep the client experience consistent
Use a shared workspace to give clients a more consistent way to access and exchange files as work continues.
Support ongoing client work
File sharing can remain part of the relationship as new documents, requests, tasks, and project work are added over time.
Files are part of the client workspace
Riverton’s approach is different from simply sending a client a storage link. The file is part of a broader shared workspace where businesses and clients can continue working together.
That makes the client file portal useful beyond a single transfer. Clients can return to the same workspace as the relationship develops and new work requires additional documents.
- Give clients a dedicated place to access shared files.
- Provide a clear place for clients to exchange requested documents.
- Keep files alongside relevant client communication and work.
- Connect file sharing with tasks, onboarding, and approvals where relevant.
- Give clients a consistent workspace to return to throughout the relationship.
A simple way to exchange client files
Riverton makes file sharing part of the ongoing client workspace rather than treating it as a one-time transfer.
Create the client workspace
Set up the client’s workspace in Riverton as the shared place for working with your business.
Add the relevant files
Provide the files and documents the client needs as part of the work you are doing together.
Share them with the client
Give the client access to the workspace so they have a clear place to work with the files you provide.
Return to the same workspace
Keep using the workspace as the relationship continues and new files need to be shared or exchanged.
Use a client file portal across different types of client work
The files will vary by business, but the underlying need is similar: give clients a clear place to exchange the documents involved in the work.
Agencies
Share creative assets, brand files, campaign documents, project deliverables, and reports with clients.
Accountants and bookkeepers
Exchange tax documents, financial records, reports, client forms, and supporting documentation.

Development and IT teams
Keep project files, client documents, requests, and ongoing work together in a shared client workspace.
Clients know where to go
A client should not have to search through old email threads or remember which shared link contains the latest document.
With Riverton, the client workspace provides a consistent place to return to when they need to access files or continue working with your team.
