We hope that this new feature will enable you to plan your digital afterlife – in a way that protects your privacy and security – and make life easier for your loved ones after you’re gone.
Now you can die in peace, with your beneficiaries safely assured of receiving the contents of your Google Drive and Picasa albums… Then again, you can choose to make it all go poof like a pile of ashes blown onto a virtual ocean or buried with a virtual fruit tree.
