Http is an insecure protocol. Https is
secure. Be sure to always use https when accessing Google Docs on a
public network (or any network for additional security). Method 1 - Simply type an "s" at the end of "http" when you connect to Google Docs to force a secure connection. You can then bookmark https://docs.google.com for future secure access. Method 2 - For users of Gmail, go to Settings, look for Browser Connection, and select "Always use https" - then always launch Docs from the link at the top of the Gmail page. This will force Docs to open using https as well. Method 3 - For administrators of a Google Apps: Education Edition domain, you can require all users in the domain to use https by Enabling SSL for your domain. Link Library: 3
