How do I share a point cloud with a client who has no software?
Upload the LAS, LAZ or E57 to the site it belongs to, then create a share link. Swyvl converts large scans to COPC and streams them, so your client clicks one link and orbits the scan in their browser instead of downloading gigabytes they cannot open.
Does the person I send the link to need an account?
No. A share link opens for anyone who has it, with nothing to install and no login. You can add a password or restrict it to named people, and change that after the link has gone out.
Do I have to convert or process files before uploading?
No. Upload what your capture or processing software exported. Swyvl reads the file type, extracts the metadata and picks the viewer. Any conversion happens on our side.
How do I upload 3D Tiles or a Gaussian splat?
Zip the 3D Tiles folder and upload the ZIP. Swyvl extracts it and loads it on a 3D globe. Gaussian splats upload directly as PLY, SPZ, KSPLAT or .splat, and the file type is detected from the file header. XGRIDS LCC2 packages upload as a ZIP too.
Can I see whether my client opened it, and can I revoke access?
Yes to both. Every view is logged with the time, the file and where it was opened from. Revoke a link and it stops working the same second.
I receive data from several contractors. How does that work?
Invite each contractor as an editor. Their deliveries land in your workspace, against your sites, under your account rather than theirs. When the contract ends their access ends and the data stays with you.
What does it cost, and is there a free plan?
The free plan covers 3 sites, 5 GB of your own uploads, 5 share links and 10 saved notes, with no credit card. Paid plans start at $49 a month for unlimited sites, more storage and your own branding.
How is this different from a Dropbox or WeTransfer link?
A file-sharing link gives your client a download they often cannot open. Swyvl opens the file in the browser, anchors it to the site it came from with a date on it, and tells you who looked. Swyvl compared with Dropbox →
