Google Offers Free Drive Storage For A Quick Security Check

Google Drive members who complete a quick security checkup will get 2GB of storage added to their account.

The company said previous year that it would strengthen the security measures and identify emails that arrive over a not encrypted connection.

After that, the Security Check takes you to a list of all of your Google account-connected devices, along with the locations where they were used and the browsers on those devices that are logged into your account.

To get started, head to Google’s security checkup page and go through the steps.

You can be safe online if you regularly do a checkup like the one Google is offering. This is a promotion Google has ran before and is created to reward you for keeping your Google account safe and secure. Each time a user tries to log in to the account through a new device, Google will send a six-digit code to the phone number. Following on from that and in conjunction with Safer Internet Day, Google has today announced an update to Gmail which is again created to ensure your online activities are better protected and especially communication via email.

This particular security feature was Google’s answer to resolving access issues when apps, such as Apple’s Mail app for iOS, don’t support Google two-step verification process.

Google Drive is now offering 2GB free storage, which will surely be enough to backup all your important data. You’ll also see this icon when you’re about to send a message to someone whose email service does not support this security protocol.

On top of that, you’ll now see a question mark over the sender’s profile photo in the event that you receive a message that can not be authenticated.

It’ll also give you an overview of what apps have permission to tap into your Google account, which may be quite the eye-opener for those with stuffed app drawers and a reliance on web services.
