Unlimited photo storage as long as you shrink the file size a little. Automatic uploads from your phone, can access them anywhere. Love it.

I was gonna use it for a password keeper, and upload all my photos, but I want to make sure it's secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use Drive, but it's because i latched onto Dropbox first for some reason. I don't need more than one of those services. I'm not sure i would use it to keep passwords, but i'm paranoid that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKTexans Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I use Google Drive, Google Photos, Dropbox And Microsoft Cloud. Not because I'm super techy, mainly because I have no idea really what I'm doing. Drive is great though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobz Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I wouldn't ever store passwords on the internet in plain text/easy to realize they are passwords. If anything, give yourself like hints or write a story or something to mask it a little. Don't put like "Bank of America - b0rn2f1y". Maybe something like "boanamenum" to remind yourself its BoA but your name with numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe something like "boanamenum" to remind yourself its BoA but your name with numbers. If you have to use a network attached password manager, skip the text file for sure. No better way to have all of your accounts compromised at once. Use an encrypted password manager like LastPass (if you absolutely need your passwords on multiple machines) and change your master password every few months after generating strong random passwords for your other accounts. Never ever ever use the same password on another site, especially if you are also using the same email address or username. I work in Infosec and that is probably the biggest reason for compromised accounts besides Phishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
