Google Drive sharing
Your files are shared with the whole wide world.
Every click on “Share” over the years is still there. Nobody cleans up, because nobody can see any of it.
Ring any bells?
How many? No idea
Nobody knows how many files are open to the outside world.
Former contractors
The job ended two years ago. The access is still open.
Public links
“Anyone with the link.” The link travels, and so does the file.

And you're not quite sure what it's going to find.

The topic in detail, with the four most common traps: Your files have a social life. You're not invited.
In 3 steps of the Clear Skies method.
- 01
Audit
An inventory of external shares: which files, open to whom, and since when.
- 05
Security
We close what needs closing, together with the files' owners.

Automation
New shares are monitored: the clean-up doesn't need redoing every year.
Will you cut off shares we actually need?
No. We show you first, decide with you, then close. Nothing gets closed without a human signing it off.
