Password protection for maps and folders
  • If a map or folder should be protected, a password can be set.
  • Recommendations:
    • do not use a trivial password
    • share the password separately from the link
    • change the password later if needed
    • remove protection when it is no longer needed
    • for sensitive content, additionally use account-based sharing
  • Rule of thumb: Link plus password is better than just a link, but targeted account sharing is often even cleaner.
