Here are some tips for keeping your online cloud storage secure:
- Choose a secure password: Use at least 8 characters with a mix of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols. Do not use dictionary words or easily guessable words like your name. Change your password regularly.
- Encrypt your cloud files: Cloud storage encryption helps protect your data by scrambled your files so they can’t be read without a key.
- Enable two-factor authentication: Two-factor authentication is an extra layer of security that requires you to enter codes from a physical device or app to access your account.
- Protect your devices: Keep your devices up to date and regularly scan them for malware and viruses. Take steps to protect your device in case it’s lost or stolen.
- Only use trusted apps: Always check the reviews and authenticity of any app before downloading it. Be aware of granting an app access to your data.
