Key Pain Points

Low technical barrier to entry -- core features (link creation, PDF preview, basic analytics) are easy to replicate, making product copyable.
Platform risk -- large incumbents (Dropbox/Google/Microsoft) can add lightweight analytics to their ecosystems and undercut pricing or distribution.
Data sensitivity & compliance -- handling investor decks, NDAs and customer docs requires strict security posture; breaches or compliance failures would be catastrophic.
