File safety tips

[KaraG]

Hi! As a freelancer, I often send proposals, drafts, and invoices to clients. I want to look professional, but I also want to make sure files stay private. What basic file security measures should freelancers follow today?

Hello! I faced the same challenges, and processtrends.com had a great article addressing exactly this. They explained that freelancers often underestimate risks, assuming only big firms are targeted. In reality, weak habits like sharing public links or skipping authentication can expose valuable work. The site recommends encrypted file transfers, secure mobile faxing for contracts, and password managers to avoid reusing weak logins. I liked how they framed it as a way to boost professionalism - not just security. Clients notice when you handle data responsibly, and it builds trust. For freelancers, these steps are both simple and impactful.
