Is it safe to store data on Google Drive? Please kindly add Your thoughts.
In my oppinion, it might be safe storage, but i would not store there any sensitive data (passwords, identity card scans, important business data) without being encrypted.
Google offers an Windows and Android applications that can synchronize certain folder with Google Drive. This is another security issue. User should undersand that files in Google Drive folder on his computer/phone are NOT safe from any thief who stole the device.
If Windows computer that is not using encryption is stolen any average hacker can get around the password and read data on HDD.
The solution? do not treat Google Drive folder as secure storage. Use encryption (BoxCryptor, TrueCrypt, BitLocker, KeePass)
