I would be wary of any such link sent to me. A PDF attached to an email would be virus checked by our enterprise email system; your link would rely on my local virus protection, shifting the risk to me personally for downloading from a link sent by someone I don't know.

In addition, some companies limit access to bucket services like s3 and Dropbox. In some cases, to prevent random downloads, in others to prevent users taking corporate documents off their machine.

Even without the response, I think you were in the wrong.
