  • Google Docs does not default to an encrypted HTTPS connection beyond the login screen, though text documents and spreadsheets can be optionally accessed through HTTPS.

    
    

    The privacy of sensitive documents may also be compromised by the fact that many people are increasingly logged into their Google account in a quasi-permanent fashion (Google accounts are a unified login process for a variety of Google services such as email, calendar, videos, etc.). While this unified login certainly provides some value, it also represents a potential threat to security (see cross-site scripting) as the access to Google Docs then requires no password check.
