Posted by EVW Helpdesk on 4/12/2019

We are pleased to announce Google Drive File Stream, a new application for your Mac or PC. This replaced the Google Drive for Mac/PC. Use Drive File Stream to access all your Google Drive files from your computer while using less disk space and decreasing sync time. All of your files in your staff server folder can now be moved into Google Drive regardless if the file is compatible or not and made available to you anytime on any device.

How does it work?

With Google Drive File Stream, you can:

Quickly see Drive files in Finder/Explorer
Browse and organize Drive files without downloading all of them to your computer
Choose which files or folders you'd like to make available offline
Open files in common apps like Microsoft Office and SMART Notebook
- Any changes saved automatically sync to your Google Drive

How do you get started?

Visit the Drive Help Center to install Drive File Stream and get started. Please contact the helpdesk for assistance.

Confidential Mode by Google Gmail Goes Live June 25

Posted by EVW Helpdesk on 3/8/2019

Confidential mode is a powerful tool that will come in handy if you send messages containing sensitive details. It will let you set an expiration date for your message, which cuts off access when that day arrives. While the message is available, recipients won’t be able to forward your message to others, copy its contents, or download it, and the sender can revoke access at any point. To add another layer of security, you can set the message to only unlock after the recipient types in an SMS verification code that’s sent to their phone number.

To learn more visit the Gmail Help Center on how to use this new feature.
