Whatever you do, don't do this.

 

Do one of the following if you aren't an idiot:

  • Sell it to the highest bidder
  • Bug bounty
  • Use it for yourself if you think that'd be the most profitable

Good luck!

It works like this: After uploading malicious files or malware executables on Google Drive, bad actors could create a public link and share an arbitrary Google Doc as a lure in sophisticated social engineering schemes designed to convince recipients to execute the malware once it has been downloaded. Proofpoint researchers also confirmed that it was possible to trigger exploits without user interaction.

So you still have to be stupid enough to download something and run it.

Google Drive should be scanned for viruses. In general, this applies to any cloud service. A very simple way to check whether a file on Google drive is safe or not is to analyze the URL. There`re tons of such services freely available. They make it easy to find out if the route to the file is dangerous or not. You should also have an antivirus, preferably a paid one. But some services don`t require checking. For example, I download google slide templates free from time to time, and my antivirus has never encountered viruses in them.
