The correct native GitHub Actions method for passing files between jobs in the same workflow is artifact storage. Workflow artifacts are designed to persist files produced by one job so they can be downloaded and used by another job later in the workflow. Job outputs are better suited for passing small values, strings, IDs, flags, or metadata between jobs, not full files. Caching is intended to speed up repeated workflow runs by reusing dependencies or build outputs; it is not the proper mechanism for transferring job-produced files. An external blob store can work architecturally, but it is not the native GitHub Actions method. Therefore, artifact storage is the best and most exam-aligned answer for passing files between jobs.
