Sharing Google Docs with the World
March 9, 2009
Google Docs is a cloud computing service that a growing number of people are using, particularly as its a convenient way to work on a constantly updated version of the document as you switch computers. It also offers functionality to share your documents for contacts to review as well as collaborate on the same document.
It’s the latter which has recently stirred up concern as a bug was revealed to affect a small number of users. According to the Tech Crunch, the ‘sharing was limited to people “with whom you, or a collaborator with sharing rights, had previously shared a document”’’. The flaw is supposedly limited to documents and presentations. Whilst I don’t tend to share documents, it highlights the potential vulnerability to privacy when storing documents in the ‘cloud’
