Google will give you 2GB of storage

Feb 25, 2015, 12:00 PM | Updated: Apr 24, 2015, 8:13 pm

Securing your accounts and information is more important than ever, but unless we get a gentle reminder, we generally forget to go back and review our security settings.

Google understands this and want’s to help motivate you to review your security settings, so they’ve come up with a pretty decent incentive: free storage space.

If you spend the few minutes that it takes to do a security check up on your Google account, they’ll reward you with an additional 2 Gbs of cloud storage.

A standard account comes with 15 Gbs of free storage, but even if you don’t need the extra space now, you will at some point down the road, so take advantage of the freebie.

Just go to http://Security.Google.com and sign into your account to get to the Security checkup option.

The process only takes a few minutes to review your activity log, recovery and app permissions

If you do it, they’ll credit your account with the additional 2 Gbs of storage on February 28th.
