Usage of "Itadakimasu" for digital objects


[Here](https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/itadakimasu-meaning/) it reads :

> As we mentioned earlier, itadaku means "to receive" or "to accept." But it's

Is a digital object (a file sent via email) considered as a physical object?

In other words, when I receive a file via email and need to express my
gratitude ("Thanks for sending me this file") can I use いただきます?

For instance :

ドキュメントをいただきます




> ドキュメントをいただきます

We don't really say like that. In this case, we put it after a verb like
先日はドキュメントを **送って** いただき、ありがとうございました。Basically, we thank for **his** behavior.
As a website you posted says, you can use the syntax noun + いただきます when you
actually choose what to take, and it's not when you express your gratitude
after receiving something.

I think we can use that syntax with non-physical things, too.

> ドキュメントもありますが、そちらも一緒に送付しましょうか?

> そうですね、ではドキュメントもいただきたいと思います。

This seems totally fine to me. Note that いただく is **our** behavior.
