Before uploading workplace documents to an online file-sharing service, why is it important to verify that the service uses encryption and proper access controls?
To guarantee that recipients can open the files faster
To reduce your monthly Internet bill
To prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information
If a file-sharing service is not secured, unauthorized individuals could intercept or access the files you upload. This loss of confidentiality can expose personal or corporate data, leading to identity theft, financial loss, or large-scale data breaches. Always choose services that require authentication and use encryption in transit and at rest to keep shared information private.
