# Building & construction

Drawings too big for email in the architect's hands tonight.

What the work needs

A site manager needs a folder of drawings too big for email in the architect's hands tonight, without opening a file-sharing account or leaving a download link lying around for years.

- Field operations & trades

  Field teams often work where connectivity is patchy, and waiting for a cloud sync to finish before a file is usable slows everyone down.
- Professional services

  Law firms, accountants and consultancies routinely send client-sensitive files to outside collaborators, each handoff multiplying where a copy of the document exists.

How the software does it

- [Privatta](https://royalsoftworks.com/products/privatta/)

  ## Getting site files between a job site and the office.

  On a site Wi-Fi network, Privatta finds the office laptop automatically and transfers directly — no portal, no account creation for a one-off project. Offline, it still works once both machines share a network.

  - Automatic LAN discovery, zero setup
  - Works fully offline on a shared network
  - No account required for the free tier

  ## Exchanging client files without leaving a copy on a vendor's servers.

  Pro and Enterprise add per-client access groups and virtual folders, so each engagement gets its own scoped sharing policy — and the file goes directly to the named recipient, never resting on infrastructure either firm doesn't control.

  - Per-group permissions for each engagement
  - Virtual folders scope access per client
  - An optional MAC check ties a LAN user to their own machine

Why it stays on your own computers

A download link left in a shared folder is a copy of the drawings that nobody remembers to delete.

Built for it: Privatta. These are the jobs the software is made for, not customer stories.

<!-- verse:royalsoftworks
     Mateju 6:6, 7
     A ti kad se moliš, udji u klet svoju, i zatvorivši vrata svoja, pomoli se Ocu svom koji je u tajnosti; i Otac tvoj koji vidi tajno, platiće tebi javno. A kad se molite, ne govorite mnogo ko neznabošci; jer oni misle da će za mnoge reči svoje biti uslišeni.
