Finding Your IP Address

Private IP Address (Local Network Address)

On windows

  • Press Win + R, type cmd, and press Enter.
  • In the Command Prompt, type “ipconfig” and press Enter.
  • Look for the line under your active network adapter:
  • IPv4 Address — This is your private IP (e.g., 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x).

 

On macOS

  • Go to System Settings > Network.
  • Select your active network (Wi-Fi or Ethernet).
  • Your IP address will be displayed on the right (e.g., 192.168.x.x).

1. Suspicious Sender Address

  • Email comes from a domain that doesn’t match the organization (e.g., [email protected] instead of paypal.com).
  • Email display name may look familiar, but the address is slightly off.

2. Urgent or Threatening Language

  • Messages that pressure you to act quickly (“Your account will be locked in 24 hours”, “Immediate action required”).
  • Fear-based tactics to scare you into clicking or providing information.

3. Generic Greetings

  • “Dear Customer” or “User” instead of your actual name.
  • Real companies usually personalize messages.

4. Unusual Requests

  • Asking for login credentials, credit card numbers, or social security numbers via email or message.
  • Requests to download or open attachments unexpectedly.

5. Suspicious Links or Attachments

  • Hover over links: The displayed text and actual URL don’t match.
  • Links go to unrelated or misspelled domains (e.g., secure-microsoft-login.com instead of microsoft.com).
  • Attachments with strange extensions: .exe, .scr, .zip, .js, or unexpected Office files.

6. Spelling and Grammar Errors

  • Legitimate companies usually proofread their emails.
  • Poor grammar or odd phrasing is a red flag.

7. Too Good to Be True

  • Offers for large sums of money, prizes, or gifts with no context.

 

What to Do if You Suspect a Phishing Attempt

  • Do not click any links or download attachments.
  • Verify the sender through official channels (e.g., contact the company directly).
  • Report the message to your IT or security team.
  • Mark it as spam/phishing in your email client (e.g., Gmail, Outlook).
  • Delete the message after reporting.
  •  

My Drive is your personal space in Google Drive where you store and manage files and folders you own. You control access and can share items with others, assigning one of these permissions:

  • Viewer: Can only view.
  • Commenter: Can view and comment, but not edit or share.
  • Editor: Can edit, accept/reject suggestions, and share with others.

 

If you transfer ownership of a file, it’s removed from your My Drive. Files owned by others and shared with you will appear in your My Drive if they transfer ownership to you. Content in My Drive that you own counts toward your Google storage limit.

Shared Drives are team-based spaces where files are owned by the group, not individuals. This ensures continuity even if members leave. Shared Drives support detailed permission levels and are ideal for collaborative work.

Once added to a Shared Drive, it appears in your Drive sidebar beneath My Drive and above “Shared with me.”

Shared with me shows files and folders others have shared directly with you. You can’t move these items to My Drive, but you can create shortcuts for easier access. If your access is revoked, the shortcut will no longer work.
