    You can always get to your email, and that attachment will always be there. It’s a universally adopted format. Most importantly, your inbox is yours.

If I'm being a grumpy bastard, for most folks (including me) the inbox belongs to Google. If you want something digital to be fully yours in this day and age, then you need to bite down on your mouthpiece and ditch convenience--and that takes more time than most folks can (or are willing to) put in.
