Chapter 14 - Files in the cloud

Summary

It is becoming increasingly common to use cloud storage systems to store documents, photographs, or other kinds of information.

Among other advantages, our files are accessible from any device.

Storing information this way, however, is not risk-free. Proper use will minimize the chances of unauthorized people accessing our private files, losing information, or simply leaving it unprotected.

In this chapter, SafeUser offers basic guidelines for protecting our information in the cloud.
