Restore deleted Drive and Gmail data

Restore deleted Drive and Gmail data , Currently admins can restore deleted Drive content for individual people in their domain using the Admin console. If a person accidentally deletes important data, this helps ensure that the data is not permanently lost. Today’s launch adds the ability to restore Gmail messages that were inadvertently deleted and return them to people’s inboxes.

This launch also adds the ability to perform Drive or Gmail data restores for up to 10 people simultaneously. Admins can select a date range to restore data from up to 25 days in the past.

Increased productivity and security for iOS devices with iOS Sync for Google Apps

/in

Today we introduced a new iOS Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution known as iOS Sync for Google Apps, which integrates Google mobile apps with native iOS device management. Users of Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides on their iPhones and iPads receive all the benefits of Google Apps on iOS,andorganizations maintain the security they need.

The advantages of iOS Sync for users and administrators include:

1) Manage Google Apps: Set a policy that prompts employees to enroll their device when they log into Google Apps such as Google Drive and Gmail.         

2) Configure WiFi networks: Distribute WiFi passwords and certificates to employees so they can easily connect to trusted networks.     

3) Support for existing policies: Manage password requirements, data encryption and camera policies, as well as actions like remotely wiping a device, activation approvals and blocking devices.

 

In addition, customers who are using our existing Google Sync MDM solution now have the option to disable ActiveSync while continuing to manage iOS devices in their organization.

iOS Sync (which works with iOS 7 and iOS 8, and the upcoming iPhone 6 and 6+) is now available for Google Apps for Work, Google Apps for Education and Google Apps for Government. Admins should access the Device management function in the Admin console to establish an Apple push notification certificate and begin enabling these new functions.

Improved presenting in Hangouts video calls: Present to everyone

Improved presenting in Hangouts video calls

Any participant in a video call can now select a participant to be shown to all other participants’ views. This feature overrides the automatic speaker-driven switching for everyone in the call. For example, if a participant is sharing a desktop view or showing something live, anyone can make that the default view for all, so there is no visual disruption to the meeting.

Anyone presenting in the same room using g.co/present/ will automatically join in “Present to everyone” mode if there are no other presenters.

New version of Google Drive viewer

/in

As part of the new Google Drive, we are updating Drive’s viewer. The new viewer is faster, cleaner and provides easier ways to connect with third-party Drive apps. It also brings a unified viewing experience across Drive content and Gmail attachments. Note that as part of this change we will remove support for adding file-level commenting of non-Google file formats. This change doesn’t impact comments in Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, and existing comments on non-Google formats will be retained and available to view.
