This latest update delivers a faster, more intuitive, and more collaborative experience for users who rely on both Egnyte and Google Workspace in their daily workflows, including:

• Dual file storage – Files are securely stored in both Egnyte and Google Drive, providing flexibility for users and IT teams while maintaining Egnyte’s data governance and access controls
• Egnyte add-ons for Google Workspace – Share Egnyte files directly from Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides for faster, more integrated collaboration without switching between apps
• Smart canvas and Gemini access – Leverage Google Workspace’s smart canvas capabilities and Gemini features within Egnyte’s updated integration for a more dynamic, interactive editing experience
• Additional Improvements – Backend optimizations to enhance overall performance, usability, and reliability

Getting started

• Admins:
  • The Egnyte Workspace add-on to control file sharing must be enabled by Workspace admins for their domains in the Google Workspace Marketplace Settings menu.
  • Egnyte admins must also enable the integration for their domains via “Egnyte Apps & Integration Settings” in the Egnyte Settings menu. Visit the Egnyte Help Center to learn more.
• End users: There is no end user setting for this integration. Visit the Egnyte for Google Workspace Landing Page to learn more.
