In addition to Google’s responsibility and efforts towards securing your data, you also have a responsibility to protect the integrity and confidentiality of your files. Your Google Drive is as secure as your Google account and file-sharing settings you apply.
The next thing we wanted the answer to was, are google drive files secure?
Your Google Drive is as secure as your Google account and file-sharing settings you apply. To ensure your Google Drive files are kept secure and private, you have to make your Google account more secure, and use the sharing settings properly.
This of course begs the question “How secure is Google Drive?”
Google uses 128-bit or 256-bit AES keys (depending on the type of storage device) to encrypt data at rest in Google Drive, which helps in protecting the confidentiality of the data stored in Google Drive. But it’s important to point out that Google is also in possession of the encryption keys, and can potentially decrypt your files at will.
Google Drive encrypts data at rest in the Drive, and data in transit to and from the Drive. Google uses 128-bit or 256-bit AES keys (depending on the type of storage device) to encrypt data at rest in Google Drive, which helps in protecting the confidentiality of the data stored in Google Drive.
For most computer users, Google Drive is more reliable, automatically backed up, relatively safe from ransomware, and almost certainly more secure from theft. In general, the benefits largely outweigh the risks. When you upload files to Google Drive, they are stored in Google’s secure data centers.
What is Google Drive and how to use it?
Google Drive enables you to share files and folders with Google Groups, a feature that many people are not aware of. You can create a Google Group and add the people with whom you want to share files.
What happens to my files when I upload to Google Drive?
When you upload files to Google Drive, they are stored in secure data centers. If your computer, phone, or tablet is lost or broken, you can still access your files from other devices. Your files are private unless you share them. If you share a computer, sign out of your Google Account when you’re done.
