Freelancers Have No Way to Gate File Delivery Behind Payment

Freelancers must either trust clients to pay before receiving deliverables or release files before payment clears, with no automated enforcement mechanism. Existing file storage tools are payment-agnostic. A payment-gated delivery system that auto-releases files the moment an invoice is paid would eliminate invoice chasing and client ghosting at handoff.
