A faster, redesigned Google Drive

Google Drive will have a new look and speedier performance on the desktop, making organizing and sharing files faster and easier than ever.

This new version is rolling out progressively to rapid release domains, who can opt-in and try the new features and interface. Scheduled release domains will be able to opt-in soon. The plan is to rollout the new Drive interface to everyone in the near future.

Unlimit your business with Google Drive for Work

Thứ Tư, 25 tháng 6, 2014

Today at Google I/O we announced Google Drive for Work—a new premium offering for businesses that includes unlimited storage, advanced audit reporting and new security controls.

Key features:

unlimited storage for all employees, including files up to 5 TB in size
new audit reporting so admins can see activity like moving, deleting or sharing files within or outside the company, plus an audit API that makes this data available to developers
new security controls so admins can set sync client, offline, Drive app and add-on settings at the Organizational Unit (OU)-level
includes Google Apps Vault, which has been expanded to provide search for all content stored in Drive

We’re also happy to announce that all files uploaded to Google Drive will now be encrypted for all users (consumer and Google Apps alike) -- so your content is encrypted not only from your device to Google and in transit between Google data centers, but also at rest on Google servers.

Google Drive for Work is now available for new and existing Google Apps for Business customers for $10/user/month, under a new SKU called Google Apps Unlimited.

Calendar GData API / Google Calendar Connectors deprecation

Thứ Ba, 24 tháng 6, 2014

Back in November 2011, we announced the deprecation of the Calendar GData API (v1, v2) when the APIv3 was made available. We’ll now be shutting down these older versions on November 17, 2014.

Any service dependent on the Calendar GData API (v1, v2), such as the Google Calendar Connectors (GCC), will no longer work as intended. GCC users should update to use Calendar Interop or their own custom built connectors that sync with v3 of the API.

Enhancements to the SMTP relay service

Thứ Hai, 23 tháng 6, 2014

We are launching several enhancements to the SMTP relay service. Admins will benefit from the following key features:

Multiple authentication configurations: Admins can now configure multiple sets of authentication rules. For instance, you can specify that messages sent from one IP address are always allowed, messages from another IP address are only allowed if encrypted with TLS, and messages from another IP address range require SMTP AUTH.
SMTP AUTH: This newly supported authentication method uses Google “application-specific passwords” to allow admins to configure clients to authenticate to the relay service. This feature is available for registered Google Apps users only.
IP range description field: To manage IP addresses more efficiently, admins can enter descriptions in text fields for each IP address or range that you use to set authentication rules.
Selective enable/disable of IP ranges: Admins can selectively enable/disable IP ranges approved for relay as needed

An update on identity verification and login challenges

Thứ Năm, 12 tháng 6, 2014

Back in May, we communicated the upcoming launch of login challenges--a new feature aimed at keeping domain accounts safe from hijackers, even if they have attained a user’s username and password. The login challenges feature was rolled out slowly over the past few weeks, and impacted a large number of domains this week. The initial intent was not to expose this feature to users with 2-Step Verification enabled and domains using SSO. While the challenge feature is not enabled for domains using SSO, many users in these domains did see a prompt to enter their phone number as a means of verifying their identity in the future. This understandably caused confusion and led to escalations to admins. Upon hearing of this confusion, the launch of the interstitial prompt was temporarily rolled back for all domains until SSO domains can be fully excluded, at which point it will be relaunched. We are passionate about keeping our users’ information safe and secure, so we do plan to enable login challenges for domains using SSO later this year. Furthermore, enabling 2-Step Verification provides the highest level of protection for users, so we encourage domains to take advantage of this offering to protect their data. For more information:
