Ask HN: If Security by Obfuscation is bad, why does Google Drive do it?
When you share an item with someone, Google creates a unique link for that resource and person.
We always hear that security by obfuscation is bad - but can it really be that bad given that Google Drive does it?
I just shared a folder with someone and in the email it says this:
This email grants access to this item. Only forward it to people you trust.
