Google outlines Workspace encryption beta and Forms AI updates
A separate image-upload feature for video avatars remains paused.
Status: source-checked.
Google’s Friday Workspace roundup announced a beta that lets administrators automatically apply client-side encryption to sensitive Docs, Sheets, Slides and Drive files through policy-based enforcement.
According to Google, the company also said it is introducing Gemini-generated insights in Forms to analyze responses, identify trends and suggest next steps. Its Meet update lets organizations display custom policy text before users join calls.
Not every item in the roundup is actively rolling out. Google said deployment of the feature allowing users to upload an image for a custom Vids avatar is paused and promised an update when it resumes.
