And then I tried sending a pdf by email. Oh well.
Can I share it on the corporate FTP ? Oh no.
Let me airdrop this to you... Wait... is this a windows / android device ?

Alright, I'll just use my laptop. My iPad is too niche for this workflow.
There are plenty of apps to upload stuff to FTP. If this was an actual thing you used with any regularity, you'd have something installed already if files isn't connecting for you.
GP was right, iPadOS is never going to work for anyone having to send a pdf to someone else.
