RE: Google pre-delivery message scanning

Unfortunately, many of those will still get through-it's sort of a game of whack-a-mole, honestly, and takes a good bit of staff time writing up new rules/regexes to block them. Sigh.

We turned it on for the majority (~55,000) of our users a year or so ago. No one has yet noticed that there's a slight delay in delivery. Or at least no one has yet opened a ticket to complain about it..... Cheers,

Hi all: Check out https://risedigital.tech/blog/google-shared-drive-migration-errors-hidden-files-unmovable for a really interesting blog post about a subtle issue that can cause My Drive to Shared Drive migrations to go sideways.

RE: Documentation re. impacts to collaborators of setting a file/folder owner to zero quota?

Thanks Madi! Much appreciated. So it sounds like the experience is the same for collaborators if an owner is over quota, regardless of what that quota is. Thinking about it, that makes total sense. Doh! (But I should listen to my own advice in terms of there being no such thing as a stupid question....) ...

RE: Finding Files After Restoring Drive Trust

Hi Ryan: As some background, unfortunately, that bug is one of the biggest downsides of using Drive Trust rules to hide files. I, and many others, have made the point to Google that this is a pretty serious bug related to Drive Trust rules, not just for the purposes many of us are using it for, but ...

I just checked our rapid release test environment, and it looks like we don't yet have the new layout. I'm still seeing the layout below. Does anyone see the new design in their domain? Thanks,

Hi all: The subject really says it all. I know at least some universities are setting expired file/folder owners to zero quota as part of your draw-down process. I’m looking into whether something like that will fit into our plans too. Do any of you have any documentation that explains to the collaborators ...

You might also want to ask this question over in the Cloud Computing CG, where more folks who manage this stuff hang out. https://www.educause.edu/community/cloud-computing-community-group In terms of a more direct answer, I'm about the furthest thing from an expert myself, but perhaps some of the trainings ...

Hi Hunter: You wrote "Real answer: You can't use an app password to log in as that Google Account and wreak havoc. Just to read and write mail (and a few other actions)."

Yup, they also need posting permission to the sub-groups. I wrote this up many years ago in the document at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DfTbCOml3mv2CM4NoaKUyBr3tx8P8tHxPv6nhssYxYU/ - it's a little out of date now, but the concepts hold.

I'm not sure I know the full answer, but for at least some of it: For Gmail, there are a couple of options: 1) The recipient can choose to block the sender, which will route all messages from that sender to their Spam folder. 2) The Google Workspace Administrator can set up a routing setting to block ...

I totally agree with Petrus, especially the part about "pick one"-I've lost count of the number of institutions I've talked to who have manufactured huge headaches for themselves by trying to run a combination of both. The calendaring/scheduling space seems to be particularly problematic for those hybrid ...
