Google Drive has recently launched its newest and improved security features. Unlike before, the file storage app from Google is now allowing users to put authentication passcodes to their drives as a protection against hackers. Not only that, but Face identification or Face ID will now be added once you try to open the files. How will this work?
Face ID now a must when opening your Google Drive
Since Google has not yet fully finished the said new feature, The Verge tells on the report that the Privacy Screen is not however, completely foolproof.
Once you open the settings screen, Google will flash a warning to all users that there are still other ways to easily open the Drive even if the owner is not around or has its Face ID feature on.
"On the settings screen where you enable it, Google warns that it might not protect your Drive notifications, "certain" Siri functionality, files shared with the Files app, photos shared with the Photos app, and "other system functionality," written on the report.
A month pause for privacy screen feature
Google Drive's newest security features are anticipated already. This was after Digital Trends first reported it in the second week of April, saying that Google Drive was planning to create high-security additional features to their software.
"Sometimes, you might want a little more privacy for documents stored on your phone," said Google Drive spokesperson on Digital Trends. "You might share devices with family or loved ones more often if you're working from home."
