Google has introduced a new security option for its online storage service for businesses.
Administrators
are now able to better control the sharing of files between
collaborators. This novelty was initially introduced in beta last
August.

More secure shares
In business, administrators can create five
distinct groups, each with different permissions. It can then place
employees within these groups to determine the possible audience for
sharing links.
Of course, the objective is to avoid any data leak
with people not accredited to obtain information, or even with people
outside the company. It also allows the company to better manage the
accounts of one-off providers.
Until now, sharing options have
either been limited to accounts associated with the same domain (i.e.
the entire company) or have no limits. Now the administrator is even
able to define shares with different companies (for example,
subsidiaries on a different domain).
Recently, Google announced
the merger of its Google Drive and Backup and Sync sync clients. For
individuals, this will notably result in more flexibility for
synchronizing files with placeholders.
