Background

In Q1 2023, we built our free Google Drive Risk Report to help people understand where their data is stored, who has access to it, what files are publicly accessible, and how they can ensure they can protect their most sensitive data.

What we found was alarming, but not surprising to us - we see this with plenty of customers who haven't had full visibility and control over their data before this point.

  • Discover who still has access to your files, and who they were created by.
  • Find risky files exposed publicly to anyone on the internet
