Your Google Drive account, filled with important documents, cherished photos, and personal projects, represents a substantial part of your digital life. This cloud-based storage platform has become a vital tool for managing our digital assets, but have you ever considered what happens to your Google Drive account when you die?

Online platforms, like Google Drive, play a critical role in our lives, shaping how we store and share our digital assets. When it comes to posthumous account management, Google provides a comprehensive solution: Inactive Account Manager.

Inactive Account Manager

This feature allows you to decide what happens to your Google Drive data after a certain period of inactivity. You can choose to share your data with a trusted contact or delete your account and all its data after your death.

Account Deletion

If you prefer to leave no digital trace, you can choose to have your Google account and all associated data, including your Google Drive content, deleted after a period of inactivity.

These options give you control over your Google Drive legacy, but they require planning and communication with your loved ones. This is where Snug comes into play.

At Snug, we understand the importance of preserving your digital legacy and ensuring a smooth transition for those you leave behind. Our mission is to help you create comprehensive estate plans and organize all of life's details in one secure place.

Our platform allows you to plan for your Google Drive account management after your death. We ensure your wishes are clearly communicated, eliminating any confusion or potential conflicts among your loved ones.

But Snug offers more than just Google Drive account management. We provide a holistic approach to estate planning, helping you manage your digital assets, financial affairs, and end-of-life wishes in a user-friendly and secure platform.

Our services include:

  1. Digital Estate Planning: We help you catalogue your digital footprint, including social media accounts, emails, and online banking, and decide what happens to them after your death.
  2. Document Storage: Store your important documents such as wills, trusts, and insurance policies in our secure platform.
  3. End-of-Life Planning: Record your wishes for funeral arrangements, organ donation, and other end-of-life decisions.

In today's digital age, managing your online presence after death is as crucial as any other end-of-life arrangement. With Snug, you can tackle this responsibility confidently, ensuring your digital legacy aligns with your wishes and provides a source of comfort for your loved ones.

Snug is not just about planning for death; it's about celebrating life and ensuring your legacy lives on, both in the hearts of your loved ones and the digital world.
