Sure, here's a rehosted link: https://timvdalen.nl/files/20230105_VIA_US_MAIL_AND_FASCIMIL...

Would you mind explaining why you don't want to go into another person's Google Drive? Just Google tracking?

If I'm logged in, suddenly parts of my browsing history becomes part of my drive.

Is it too difficult to open a link in an anonymous window, if being logged in is the only concern?

I don't know for him, but in my case I'm trying to boycott all GAFAM content, so I take it poorly when someone tries to force me to use them (especially when alternatives exist).

It's a Google Drive link, so it could very easily be a PDF or docx or anything with executable code; and I avoid reading random PDFs online unless they're provided by a reputable source. I also didn't click the super long link here.

And, since it's Google Drive, I don't want to deal with having to open the link in a private browser. For the person saying "isn't it easy just to open it in a private browser?" sure; but it's also friction I don't feel like dealing with, especially since it could easily be a PDF or whatever and my concerns remain.
