Start meetings more efficiently with the Calendar guest list in Google Meet

By
  Quick summary  In Google Meet, you can now see participants who were invited to the meeting but have yet to join the call. These participants can be found under the “Also invited” heading. Additionally, you’ll also be able to see the RSVP status of everyone on the invite, including “optional” attendees and RSVP notes.  From here, you can reach out to those users via Chat to confirm whether they will be joining directly from Meet, eliminating the need to open additional tabs or switch to another app.  We hope this feature makes it easier for you to start meetings more efficiently by quickly determining who has not joined and sending them a nudge via Chat directly from Meet.  Getting started  Admins:  There is no admin control for this feature.  End users:  For users in eligible Google Workspace editions, this feature will be available by default for Meet calls with a Calendar event.  Rollout pace  Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains : Extended rollout (potentially longer than

Data Loss Prevention for Drive helps protect sensitive data when users upload files to external Google Forms

By
  We introduced a test program in April that enables users to answer to inquiries on external forms that request users to submit files while also assisting in preventing the leakage of private and sensitive data. The Data Loss Prevention (DLP) for Drive policies now in effect for your domain will be applied to any files that users upload to Google Forms using this functionality, which is now broadly accessible. This will be done without the need to add any new rules or modify any already existing ones. Admins   - Files submitted to file upload questions in Google Forms outside of your domain will be subject to the DLP for Drive rules set up for your domain. - In the Admin panel, go to Security > Data protection and add DLP rules at the domain, OU, or group level if you are not using DLP for Drive. You can take steps to block, warn, or audit. End Users - End users may still submit forms as normal, but they can now submit forms from domains outside of their own, including forms that a

Why choose Google Cloud ?

By
  The Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a platform that delivers over 90 information technology services (aka products), which businesses, IT professionals, and developers can leverage to work more efficiently, gain more flexibility, and/or enable a strategic advantage. How does the Google Cloud Platform work? Cloud computing today allows hardware and software products to co-exist remotely (in data centers) and at-scale. Together these products work to deliver specific services. Users typically can access, manage, and use the tools they require via a web-interface – and that’s true for Google Cloud Platform services as well. In addition to service accessibility, users also gain flexibility and choice when working with Google Cloud Platform: Each service is available ‘a la carte’ so that users can leverage different resources to develop the infrastructure they need. Once they have identified the Google Cloud Platform services that would benefit them, users simply create a “project” via the
