UChicago UIC Cloud Privacy Study

Take a new look at your cloud storage

The purpose of this app is to conduct an IRB-approved academic research study (UIC Protocol STUDY2024-1146) run by researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago and the University of Chicago. The app uses read-only access to your Google Drive to help you review the sensitivity of your existing files using machine-learning classification. It never writes to, modifies, or deletes any Drive file.
