Password Protect Sensitive Dropbox/Google Drive/iCloud/OneDrive Files

You get a collection letter in the mail from a crypto exchange you’ve never heard of claiming margin trading has put you in the red for $300,000. You get a phone call from the FTC and they inform you that they suspect your identity has been stolen. Your life suddenly spirals out of control as your identity has been commoditized and sold on the dark web.

Rewind. What could you have done to prevent this?
