Why Email Attachments Are Dangerous: Secure Direct Cloud File Sharing in Chat
  <h2>The Perils of 'Final_v2_edit.pdf'</h2>
  <p>Emailing file attachments creates multiple disconnected copies, wastes server storage, and risks forwarding confidential intellectual property to unintended recipients.</p>

  <h3>The Modern Shared-Object Model</h3>
  <p>In Boad Connect, files aren't blind attachments—they are secure, permission-guarded cloud references powered by Boad AI Cloud:</p>
  <ul>
    <li><strong>Instant Revocation:</strong> Revoke access to a shared file at any time, even after sending.</li>
    <li><strong>Audit Logging:</strong> Monitor exactly who downloaded or viewed the document.</li>
    <li><strong>Granular Permissions:</strong> Share files with viewer-only constraints that block downloads where required.</li>
  </ul>

  <p>Share files safely within your team conversations on Boad Connect.</p>
