Remember when we all just sent PDFs for our portfolios?

I used to email a 10MB file and hope it opened, but after a client in Denver said they couldn't view it on their phone in 2019, I switched to a simple Carrd site. Anyone else have a moment that forced you to finally update your basic tools?

Read an article a while back about how sending big files is basically a test of the other person's patience now. That Denver client story hits home, because I had a supplier who couldn't open a spec sheet I sent as a PDF last year. It finally pushed me to just use a cloud link for everything. Feels silly it took that long to change a habit that was clearly broken.

Ever think we're training people to just not open attachments at all? I've started getting "link broken" replies for things I know work fine, because clicking feels like too much effort now.
