Tips Web Services / / December 19, 2019
We all expect to live a long and happy life. However, the fate of the villain sometimes prescribes such unexpected shapes that even in a nightmare could not imagine. Have you ever wondered what would happen to your digital property, in case... well, let's say, in any case of accident?
If your entire digital archive consists of a pair of pictures from the party, and a few letters, the loss may not be great. But if you have collected in Picasa huge photo archive of his life, Gmail keeps your conversation with remarkable personalities, and stayed in Google Docs scientific paper or thesis, it can make a real problem. Google has acknowledged its existence and offers to solve a simple and natural way - by drawing up a digital will.
The company's new service called Google just in case and aims to solve the problem of "orphaned" digital archives. With it, you can Google say in advance what to do with the letters, photographs, documents and other data from your account, if you suddenly stop using them. At the same time it offered two options: either a complete or partial transfer of your data to the specified person or their complete removal.
To configure this new feature, you need to go in to your account this link. Here you will find first of all to provide a phone number and secondary email address to which you will be sent a warning a month before the company will perform the action you specify. Then you have to specify the period of inactivity from three months to one year. In other words, if you during this time never go into your Google account, the company will give it access to the person specified by you, or destroy them.
The third step is to specify the data your trusted person. Need his email address and mobile phone number, which will be sent an additional notification. Then you need to select Google services, which houses valuable information for you. That remains is to activate this service and hope that it is you'll never need.
