Google Inactive Account Manager allows users to share data with trusted contacts when they lose their account

Google Inactive Account Manager allows users to share data with trusted contacts when they lose their account

Unless users enable the Inactive Account Manager, Google will not share their data from Drive, Blogger, Mail and YouTube with anyone even after they have stopped accessing their accounts.

Ever wondered what happens to your Google account when you die? If it remains untouched, it is likely to lose all data documents in two years, given that there is enough storage for that account to last for two years. If not, Google account users will get a grace period of seven days with no penalties after which their Google accounts will not store new data nor will they send or receive emails, upload new files to Google Drive, or sync any photos with Google.Google allows users to enable settings beforehand that will notify their loved ones in the event of their death or in case users are not able to get access to their accounts. For such incidents, Google also allows users to enable the Inactive Storage Manager that allows users to “decide when Google should consider your account to be inactive” and what it should do with user’s data afterward. Users can share their data with someone they trust or ask Google to delete it. Google users can go to https://myaccount.google.com/inactive to enable changes in case of their absence. Google users can thus set up the Inactive Accounts Manager for trusted contacts to download data included in their Blogger, Drive, Mail and YouTube.
