Google Drive

File auditing, alerting, permissions visibility, and data classification for Google Drive.

Challenge

Google Drive is a leading cloud storage platform for personal and professional use. It enables users to store and share enormous amounts of data from any device for simple, real-time, remote collaboration. Users can collaborate and grant access on their own, creating complex permission structures hidden from admins that make it impossible to answer the question: “Is my data safe?”
