What measures can we take to prevent accidental uploads of sensitive data to Confluence Cloud? Is there a feature within the Confluence/Jira Cloud login system that can prompt users to avoid sharing any confidential information? We would appreciate any recommendations for relevant plug-ins or OOTB/in-house solutions.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

How would you expect software to know when the information being uploaded is sensitive? 

Remember that even the new AIs like ChatGPT and Bard are only about 60% effective at spotting when data might be subject to GDPR rules.

Hi @KA ,

Welcome to the community !!

There is no possibility to prevent accidental uploads of sensitive data to Confluence Cloud.

One suggestion I can provide is to restrict the spaces by granting appropriate space level permissions.
If you are in Free plan, then space permissions cannot be modified. 

Also Check if Compliance for Confluence plugin suits your requirements.
