Why PDF Links Look Unprofessional
Sending Google Drive or Dropbox links? Here's why that's hurting your portfolio.
What Clients See with Google Drive
"Click here to download" - Extra friction
Generic Google Drive interface with ads
Clunky PDF viewer that doesn't work well on mobile
No professional presentation - just a file
Permission errors and "Request Access" prompts

When This Matters Most
