I use paid version of Google Workspace Business for 12 years, since G Suite and I thought how good and secure it is. Until yesterday, when I received an email from Google, about my file being blocked by Google Drive TOS since it contains a virus. It was a 7 years old pdf invoice for my domain purchase in a folder that I use for archiving my business accounting documents. When I clicked “Request to Review” button in email, I got 404 and 401 Google Drive server errors, so I contacted my Google Workspace Business support. They said there is no virus on that specific pdf invoice document, but they still didn’t know why the system blocked my file. I wanted to download my whole archive folder with my business documents and found out that all my pdf invoices for my domain name purchases (117 of them) were blocked. Google Drive found domain names written in those invoices and believed those files were infected, just because the text strings with some domain names existed in those pdf files. I am a software developer myself and I can’t believe they made such a stupid "false positive” filters. They are still looking into my case, but I am scared to use Google Workspace Business, since it could turn into nightmare any time.
Hi Pete! Great video. Quick question - we've recently started using Google Drive as our client portal (i.e. central location to store all files and documents for each individual client). Any thoughts on a good way to direct clients to just their specific drive (or folder) from a single log in page? We really want to have a "Log In" button on our website's homepage which all client's can use at any time to access their resources, instead of having to look through emails to find a direct link. Can't seem to come up with a good solution here... Let me know if you have any thoughts! Cheers.
Good training But I was expecting to see a detailed explanation about Google drive features, menu and how a beginner can work with Google drive smartly
This great video and great for work space on cloud computing any were from remote place, need further clarification...could you please confirm to reach your company.
Tnx for the video, very insightful. We arenow moving to google workspace, specifically the shared drives. Our current provider says we need at least 90% of our accounts in their backup plan in order for the shared drives to be backed up too. We work with a lot of contractors and they change over time a lot. Is there a solution where we can choose for only the shared drives to be backed up and perhaps a handful of people’s drive who are on our payroll? In essence not having 90% of the accounts in the backup plan and still have the shareddrives to be backed up.
Can I store my ecommerce vendor product images to Google drive? Is there any data transfer cost involved for the images stored in Google drive? I mean let say 10k images access every hour, so data consumption for Google will be huge for the account. Do they charge for data consumption as well for access?
Say you have a marketing team and you want the team to access content and add in results on a sheet but you don’t want them to access the ROI or ad spend that should be for the manager would you have. Shared drive - Marketing (owner manager) Folder - Manager Folder - Team (add in group here)?
This was one of the most informative Tutorials out there, but I think you should Clarify that you only get the "Shared Drive" Option if you PAY FOR IT! Right?
Can’t believe that we wasted time setting up a Shared Drive only to discover that permissions cannot be adjusted for subfolders and files. So basically if you share an HR folder that has staff forms the user will also be able to see confidential staff files if that folder is also in the HR folder.
Really interesting! Too bad you are on the other side of the world. 🙃 As a small business owner with only two employes (right now) I'm worried our shared drive has no structure, because I haven't the time to fix it. Or the knowledge.

I'm going to respond with my thoughts in the next live Community Q&A :) Check it out on our channel when it happens
@@itGenius_ Will do! Thanks
Hello sir, did you ever find a solution for this. I'm looking for the same exact solution. Thanks
@@itGenius_ Always good to link for future people with same issues
Good training

If I wanted to share some files with a group of externals, should I add them to a shared drive or add them to a shared folder on a shared drive?
Hi there, great question. Pop this question into ask.itgenius.com/ and we will get Pete to answer it on his next Q&A series 🙂
Is there any way to restrict user, upload Limit, in Shared drive.!!
Why would you need this?

This is great info and what I am looking for! Do you have a video on how to set up a shared drive?
Unfortunately we don't have a technical video guide here, but our team could help you out. Just have a chat with us here itgenius.com/chat

It’s not really designed for that and you may run into data limits… Google cloud platform would be more suitable for that
@@itGenius_ Do you know if they have any or how much data limit? Please send me any document link if you have.
Fantastic content - thank you!
Thank you! 😌
Say you have a marketing team and you want the team to access content and add in results on a sheet but you don’t want them to access the ROI or ad spend that should be for the manager would you have.
Shared drive - Marketing (owner manager)
Folder - Manager
Folder - Team (add in group here)?
Perhaps you could use Google Data Studio to do this. Keep the sheets separate and bring them together in GDS only for your eyes.
Should a non-profit volunteer organization use Google Drive for business or plain google drive.
You can get access to workspace for free through their not for profits program, that would be my recommendation
Good and clear content :-)

Thank you, and yes you are correct

Covered this with my thoughts on a recent video :)
Really interesting! Too bad you are on the other side of the world. 🙃 As a small business owner with only two employes (right now) I'm worried our shared drive has no structure, because I haven't the time to fix it. Or the knowledge.
We have recently opened US hours on our team and will be 24 hours soon
@@itGenius_ that was good news! I'm actually in Sweden, but if you open 24 hours then it shouldn't be a problem. 😊
I want to text someone
I just want to talk to a friend
I don’t have a business
Any response on my first comment?
