Kim Komando and her staff are talking about Google Drive, and some of the things that people can fall for.
- 1. Phishing attempts are rampant
- 2. Nasty links in Google Docs are one of the most significant Google Drive security risks
- 3. It’s been hacked before
- BONUS: Be careful of Excel spreadsheets, too
I’m not saying don’t use the product, as it can have some great benefits like colaberation which is what I use it for. Sure, I’ve got some phone numbers of people, and a few files that could probably be saved elsewhere, but no service is 100 percent proof of hackers. Kim recommends Idrive, but I’ve not used it or can vouch for its accessibility.
The article is titled 3 reasons storing sensitive files in Google Drive is a bad idea and as listed abovee, a bonus one was added too. I bet all services including Dropbox, Idrive and Google have some of this problem from time to time.
Each item has some good points and things to watch out for, so please read this article through. You might learn something that might help you out.
