For builders & contractors

Show finished projects and keep clients in the loop.

Builders, remodelers, landscapers and architects already keep project photos and drawings in Dropbox or OneDrive. Publish the best of it as a portfolio — and give each client a private folder for plans and progress photos.

FolderBloom shows a Dropbox or OneDrive folder on your website and keeps it up to date. Your files stay in your own storage.

Why it fits

What makes it work for you

No double uploading

The folders your crew already uses are the source of truth for the website.

A portal for every client

Each client signs in to see only their project’s drawings, change orders and photos. Your logo, colors and welcome message on the portal and its emails — on your own address if you like.

Documents of every kind

PDFs, spreadsheets, CAD exports and photos — up to 650 MB per file, with big files delivered straight from your storage.

Before & after sliders

Show finished work next to where it started. Pairs follow your photos even if you rename them.

Licenses, partners and certifications

A scrolling strip of supplier and certification logos — drop them in a folder (SVG works), and each can link to its website.

Recommended package

Files + Plus

Room for a strong portfolio plus progress photos for current clients. Choose Basic for a smaller portfolio.

Files covers file lists, document previews, spreadsheet tables, menus, passwords and private client folders. Photo galleries, slideshows and before & after sliders need a gallery package; visitors downloading full-size photos needs Plus or Pro.

Compare all packages

Good to know

Individual files can be up to 650 MB, and anything over 50 MB downloads straight from your Dropbox or OneDrive, so big drawing sets arrive quickly.

Ask homeowners before publishing photos of their home in your public portfolio.
