Your 'Secure' Cloud Storage Is a Lie

Key Takeaways

what you think is yours and private really isn't if there are public links to it a back door is built into all the filesharing sites like box.com Google Drive iCloud Proton Drive Dropbox whatever because if there exists a shared folder link anyone with that link can see into that folder it's a feature of the site itself you can't take that away or it ruins the point of the site and I've been doing Cy security for decades and nobody is talking about auditing Dropbox links to make sure only the stuff that should be public is public because every file and folder may have that option and going through them all is simply unreasonable to do by hand I say it's best to treat everything on your cloud storage as if it is publicly accessible and only temporarily put things up there if you want to share it with someone privately and then remove it as soon as they get it
