What should you not store in Google Drive?

Okay, so you’re wondering what not to put in Google Drive, huh? It’s a good question! I mean, it’s so convenient, you’re tempted to just dump everything in there, right? But hold on a sec.

Think about it: you really shouldn’t be storing super sensitive stuff like passwords in a plain text file there. Seriously! I know, I know, sometimes it’s tempting to keep a list, but imagine if someone got access to your account? Yikes! Same goes for unencrypted medical records. I’ve seen some pretty scary privacy breaches in the news, and I’d hate for that to happen to anyone I care about. What about financial details too? Like, credit card numbers or bank account info? Nope. Hard pass.

Basically, anything that could cause you serious harm if it fell into the wrong hands? Keep that stuff locked down somewhere else, preferably with some proper encryption. I personally use a password manager, which encrypts everything. Peace of mind is worth it, trust me.

And hey, while you’re at it, maybe take a minute to check who has access to your files. I mean, has your friend you shared stuff with five years ago, should still have access? I regularly go into my Google Drive to double check and manage file access. It’s a small thing, but it can save you from a lot of potential headaches down the road!
