Amaya Toman Create a secure password
While this tip won't help you recover lost files or prevent you from deleting something you shouldn't have, it will definitely help prevent someone from accessing your Drive account and reading, editing, or deleting those files. When creating a new password for Google Drive, use a password manager and instruct it to create a random password that will be at least twelve characters long and impossible (or at least very difficult) to remember. The stronger the password, the less likely someone will gain access to your account. You definitely won't spoil anything by activating two-factor authentication.

Do you often work with Google Docs? Try using Google Drive instead of the Google Docs interface.

Open the document in the Google Docs interface and click on the toolbar File -> Version History -> View Version History.

Locking files
While the file locking feature won't prevent you from accidentally deleting files from Drive, it will prevent unauthorized users from changing the contents of those files. Once you lock a file, no one can edit or comment on it until you unlock it. What's more, only users with Editor permission can unlock the file. This is a small step you can take to protect these valuable files from being altered. To lock a file, right-click an item in Google Drive and select an option File Info –> Lock. In the resulting pop-up window, click the button Lock it and the file will be protected from modification and will remain so until it is unlocked.
