Secure CAD, BIM and design file transfer for architecture teams.
Architecture file sharing for large project files
Architecture teams work with large, detailed and business-critical project files every day.
CAD drawings, BIM models, renderings, specifications and construction documentation often need to be shared with clients, engineers, contractors, consultants and project partners.
ftpGrid provides secure architecture file sharing for architects, design studios, engineering teams and construction-related workflows. Transfer large project files securely without relying on email attachments, consumer file sharing tools or self-managed file servers.
Whether you need to deliver CAD drawings, exchange BIM models, share project documentation or collaborate with external stakeholders, ftpGrid helps architecture teams transfer files securely and efficiently.

Why architecture firms need secure large file sharing
Architecture projects often generate large and complex files. CAD drawings, BIM models, 3D renderings, specifications and construction documentation can quickly become too large or too sensitive for traditional email.
Architecture firms also collaborate with many external stakeholders, including clients, engineers, contractors, consultants, developers and public authorities. A reliable file exchange workflow helps keep project communication professional and organized.
Common architecture file sharing challenges
Design and construction projects depend on accurate file delivery. Drawings, models and documentation must reach the right people without being compressed, rejected by email limits or scattered across multiple consumer sharing links.
- CAD drawings and technical plans
- BIM models and model exports
- 3D renderings and visualization files
- Construction documentation and specifications
- Project revisions and drawing packages
- Client presentations and proposal documents
Architecture file sharing vs email attachments
| Feature | Email Attachments | Architecture File Sharing Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Large CAD files | Often blocked or compressed | Designed for large transfers |
| BIM model sharing | Difficult to manage | Reliable project delivery |
| Project collaboration | Fragmented across inboxes | Centralized file exchange |
| External stakeholders | Manual and inconsistent | Professional sharing workflow |
| Drawing packages | Hard to deliver | Simple large file transfer |
Designed for architecture and design workflows
ftpGrid supports secure file transfer using business-standard protocols including SFTP, FTP, FTPS, SCP and secure HTTPS sharing.
This makes it useful for architecture firms that need both human-friendly sharing and compatibility with existing tools, project workflows and automated transfer processes.
Secure project file exchange without server maintenance
Instead of maintaining internal FTP or SFTP servers, architecture firms can use a managed platform to exchange large project files securely with clients and partners.
The result is a simpler, more reliable and more professional way to deliver CAD drawings, BIM files and architecture project documentation.
