Sending a link to a client sounds simple.

You build something, upload something, generate a preview, copy the link, paste it into an email or chat, and move on.

But links have a habit of outliving the moment they were created for.

A demo link gets forwarded. A preview stays open after a project ends. A file meant for one client sits around in an old thread. A staging URL becomes "temporary" for six months.

That is why secure link sharing should not only be about making a link work. It should be about controlling how that link is recognized, who can open it, and when it stops working.
