Using an HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure) link ensures that the data sent over the internet is encrypted, providing a secure channel for file transfer. In contrast, both FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and general email lack built-in encryption and can expose the document to interception. Public file sharing platforms may not offer sufficient security features to protect sensitive information.
