Why this workflow matters
Sensitive PDFs need more care than a public attachment. Hosted links let you use passwords and a clearer sharing workflow.
This is useful for law firms, finance teams, HR teams, consultants, and medical offices that need PDFs to open cleanly, stay easy to share, and provide better follow-up signals than a normal attachment.
