Comment on New Report: Over 40% of Google Drive Files Contain Sensitive Info
remotelove@lemmy.ca 9 months agoThe numbers are listed poorly and not put in the correct context, me thinks.
6.5 million documents is nothing compared to the user base of 3 billion, so that is something to keep in mind. Each number given is not clearly compared against the total user base, the total number of public documents or any other condition they listed.
Hell, I can’t even tell if my guess is even accurate. It’s really bad writing and I am not going to download the original report to find out more.

After I read some info on their website, I suspect the company sells security software to companies to investigate their own google drive usage. I guess they are reporting accumulated meta information their customers shared.

I dug a little deeper as well and I agree. The author of the link that was posted here is just summarizing “papers” released by various security companies. It’s not quality content, but it’s a living for him I suppose. Meh.
