Hackers like to hijack files as they are most vulnerable when they’re transferred. We take a closer look at these areas below.
The three main areas you should consider when using Google Drive, or any other cloud service, are file safety during transfers, software bugs, and privacy of the cloud itself. While most of it is out of your hands, some of it is not. It’s natural given all the different threats: hackers, human error, software and hardware bugs, unethical employees. Imagine if you found out about your personal video that Google sent to a stranger when you didn’t even think it’s on Google’s servers in the first place? How secure is Google Drive: possible threats We’re not arguing with convenience, but if most people don’t even realize that every picture they take on their phone is sent to Google’s servers, that’s worrying. And as soon as you enter your email, your data, contacts, documents, photos – everything gets synchronized with Google Drive immediately. You don’t choose Google, do you? It’s just there. Think about the last time you got a new mobile device.
Google has turned customer experience into an art form.
