How to secure Google Drive using Face ID or Touch ID on iPhone/iPad – Guide
Google Drive has recently introduced a new feature for Drive users that allows you to backup your Google Drive to your smartphone using Face ID or Touch ID. We all use Google Drive to store our data and files for easy access on all devices. But anyone can use our phone, which means they can also easily access our Google Drive data. Google today introduced the new privacy screen feature for Google Drive on iOS and iPadOS, which allows you to require Face ID or Touch ID authentication when someone tries to open the app on your device. That way, your important work documents or confidential personal files are kept away from prying eyes.
You can choose to turn on the privacy screen immediately when switching to another app — the Face ID or Touch ID screen appears when you return to Drive — or delay it by 10 seconds, a minute, or 10 minutes, to allow for a little less multitasking.
