Technology companies keep reminding us to change our password and take best security measures. But it is one of those things that — despite knowing its importance — we tend to procrastinate for as long possible. In an effort to push users to revise their security settings, Google is now giving away 2GB of free storage on Google Drive valid for two years.
As part of the Safer Internet Day we celebrated earlier this week, the Mountain View-based company is giving away 2GB of free Drive storage to anyone who completes itsSecurity Checkup. In the questionnaire, the company reminds users to check their backup phone, backup email address, the devices they are logged into their account and similar aspects. It won’t take more than two minutes of your time.
Users have until February 17 to check their security settings if they want the extra 2GB of storage. The company says that it will roll out the additional storage space to eligible users by the end of this month. It will send the said users an email when the storage bump adjustment is complete.
“While everything stored in Drive is always encrypted in transit and at rest in Google’s custom-built data centers, this checkup ensures you’re making the most of the 24/7 protection you already get from Google,” said Drive Group Product Manager Alex Vogenthaler. “It takes just a couple of minutes and, unlike other checkups, it won’t leave you feeling guilty about not flossing.”
