Because keeping things safe should be rewarded
Thursday, December 17, 2015
Keeping files safe in Google Drive is super important. That's why Drive uses Google’s highly-secure, custom-built
data centers
to store your photos, videos, and other documents. But it’s not just fences, cameras, and lasers that keep things safe — it’s people. It's the software engineers and 500+ security experts at Google, along with a network of independent researchers, who live and breathe data security.
Our
research grant program
is one way independent security researchers contribute to Google’s data security. We're grateful for their efforts to keep Google Drive safe, so next year we’re dedicating $1,000,000 to fund even more grants for independent security research. Separately, we’ll continue to
offer up to $20,000
to anyone who finds and reports a qualifying issue. The end result of these ongoing efforts is a product that — unlike your garden-variety hard drive — actually gets better over time.
This holiday season, many of you will be buying or gifting new computers, phones, and tablets — and possibly dealing with moving important files from old devices to new ones. Google Drive for
Mac
,
PC
,
Android
, and
iOS
devices can help you easily move your files and keep them all safe going forward.
So, enjoy some R&R this holiday season. While you're sipping eggnog, we'll be making sure your files stay safe.
