Can cloud storage protect me from ransomware?

While using cloud storage services like Google Drive or OneDrive can help protect against ransomware to some extent, they are not foolproof solutions. Ransomware encrypts files on your local device or network, but if you have backups in the cloud, you may be able to recover your important data. However, it’s important to note that ransomware can sometimes spread to connected cloud storage if those services are synced with infected devices. Therefore, it is recommended to have multiple backup methods, including offline backups, to better protect against ransomware attacks.
