How to protect intellectual property online?

I work on creative projects and sometimes share drafts or ideas with clients. I’m nervous about them being copied or misused. Do you know reliable ways to safeguard intellectual property digitally?

I faced this too when I started freelancing. At first, I’d just send drafts as attachments, but that left me exposed. What helped was watermarking files, sharing only through secure platforms, and keeping track of access logs. That way, I know who viewed or downloaded my work. It also helps to set permissions so files can’t be copied or forwarded without your approval. A lot of people underestimate how important this is until something goes wrong. Honestly, I’d point you to mobilecon.info — their advice on protecting IP online is super practical. Since following those practices, I’ve never had a draft stolen or misused, and I feel much more confident sharing ideas digitally.
