In today’s digital world, sharing documents online has made communication easier than ever. But it’s crucial to keep our shared content safe. Whether you’re sharing files on social media, using cloud storage, or posting on forums, you must follow some rules to protect your sensitive information from hackers and other dangers. This article will provide you with some easy ways to keep your documents safe when sharing them on public websites, so you can control who sees your content and keep it secure.

  1. Review Privacy Settings: Before uploading any content, review the privacy settings of the platform or website you’re using. Ensure that you understand who can access the content once it’s uploaded and adjust the settings accordingly.

  2. Limit Personal Information: Refrain from including any sensitive information, such as personal details or confidential data, in the content of documents intended for upload on public websites.

  3. Check Terms of Service: Review the terms of service and privacy policies of the platform before uploading content. Make sure you understand how your content will be used, stored, and shared by the platform and whether you retain ownership and control over it.

  4. Opt for Secure Platforms: Choose platforms that prioritise user privacy and offer robust security measures. Look for services that provide encryption for data transmission and storage, ensuring your content remains protected.

  5. Use Strong Passwords: If the platform allows, set strong, unique passwords for your uploaded content to prevent unauthorised access. Avoid using easily guessable passwords or reusing passwords across multiple accounts.
