Data security in Google Photos?

Question

Google

Hello everyone
, iСloud gives out 5GB free of charge, and Google Photo has unlimited storage.
I wanted to switch to Google Photos, but all the same, photos are a rather intimate thing, and the less they shine on the network, the better.
Do you use Google Photos and how safe is it?

Answer 1

Hello. Excerpt from one kintz: "No system is safe." - it's rather pathetic, but it's true.
If you don't want your photos to ever fall into the wrong hands - keep them on a physical medium in a bunker :D
But speaking in fact - Google is an international office, which employs excellent specialists of the highest qualification.
In addition, they have a bugbounty program, for which they get good money for information security specialists. It is more profitable for people to work on it than to try to sell your personal photos to someone.
To sum up - you can not be afraid for your photos.

Answer 2

The question is what exactly do you want to protect against. From data loss? From the fact that your pictures will leak? These are different scenarios, and the measures taken in both cases are also different. But when using the clouds, think about what you will do WHEN (not if, but WHEN) problems arise with the cloud service. And they will arise - it's just a matter of time.
