You might send your practitioner files via email when you don't want to log in to the client portal to upload documents. Using secure links allows you to upload documents from your email. Your practitioner gets the documents they need faster and it gives you and other third parties a secure way to upload documents.
For example, if a bookkeeper needs to upload files for you each month, they don't need access to sensitive information in your client portal. They can simply use secure links sent by your practitioner!
