Schools store and manage a range of sensitive data: student identification records, tax records, medical documents, financial statements, and more. Often, schools rely on Google Workspace to handle their data appropriately - including Google Drive.
In the words of Education Week: 'Google products dominate in K-12 classrooms.' Their research shows that approximately 70% of K-12 schools use Google Workspace apps, which includes Google Drive - they also say that among educators, Google products are the solutions of choice.
This implies that educators and schools more generally trust Google's applications to securely hold information. But how safe is Google Drive, really?
