Eligible Google Workspace customers can now import PowerPoint (.pptx) files as client-side encrypted (CSE) Slides, enabling secure interoperability with Microsoft Office. The files are encrypted on the client before import and converted to high-fidelity encrypted Slides, accessible via the CSE Office Interop beta program.
