Google Workspace Changes

Google Drive inventory reporting is now generally available for admins.

Google Drive inventory reporting has moved from beta to general availability, allowing admins to export inventory reports to BigQuery to gain deeper insights into how data is classified, accessed, and used. This update includes new functionality such as adherence to data regions settings, additional report details (creator email, owner's organizational unit, and inherited permissions for shared drives), and the capture of audit events for configuration and report status.

General availability of email migration from Google Workspace, Gmail, and IMAP servers to Google Workspace accounts.

Google has announced the general availability of a data migration service that allows administrators to migrate users' email data from Google Workspace, Gmail, or other IMAP-enabled mail servers to another Google Workspace account. This service includes the ability to perform delta migrations, which smartly transfer newly generated or modified emails from the source without duplicating previously migrated content, providing a more secure and efficient migration experience.

Import data from Meta Workplace to Google Chat using CloudFuze.

Google has introduced a new migration solution from partner CloudFuze that enables companies using Meta Workplace to migrate their data to Google Chat.

Google Meet now allows admins to enable client debug logs for better eCDN performance insights.

Admins can now enable client debug logs in the Admin console to gain detailed insights into how Enterprise Content Delivery Network (eCDN) configurations affect client usage across their private network. These logs provide critical information regarding device status, network assignments, and performance statistics such as transfer rates and peer connections, enabling administrators to optimize bandwidth savings and troubleshoot issues more efficiently.

Beginning today, admins can turn on client debug logs in the Admin console to get detailed information and better understand how configurations affect the way clients use eCDN in different parts of their private network.

Under the umbrella of our data migration services, we’re introducing a new file migration service for Admins to transfer files between OneDrive data to Google Drive for up to 100 users at a time.

Admins can now create email addresses for Google Chat spaces from the Admin console.

Google Workspace admins can now generate email addresses for Google Chat spaces by navigating to Google Chat > 'Manage spaces' > selecting a space > 'Space settings' > 'Generate email'.
