Follow Up: Google Drive and Sensitive Information

I received a message from a subscriber regarding yesterday's tip.  He asked if Google Drive was secure for files containing credit card information or passwords.

While Google's security is among the best on the internet, I would not recommend storing sensitive information like credit cards or passwords on an online account.  No matter how good Google's security is, the security of your account depends on the security of your password.  If your password is compromised or hacked (which is becoming easier to do thanks to increases in processing power), all of Google's security will do you no good.
