    Client sent an .ai file via Google Drive.

    I can see it - it's right there in the middle of the browser window - but I can't download it. There's no fucking download option, and I can't cheat by clicking Print and sending it to a PDF as the Print option is ghosted. Great stuff. Right-clicking does nothing, so all I can do is just sit here like a spazz.

    I presume it's because I'm a) not logged into Google's ecosystem and b) using Firefox, but .. well, quelle surprise.

    Die, Google, Die.
