Hi Audrey,
I don’t know whether it is something you’re doing or something else. I’d like to think it is your workflow because that would generally be easier to fix.
You can share the files by uploading them to DropBox or WeTransfer and sharing the link. If they have sensitive information like client name, address, or other stuff that you don’t want the world to have access to, send me a private message with the link. Just click on my name at the top of this post and then “Message”.
