Collaborate seamlessly across Google Workspace and Egnyte

What’s changing
Egnyte’s enhanced Google Workspace integration is now generally available to all customers. With this update, users can now securely locate, open, edit, and manage their Google Workspace files in Egnyte’s web UI, mobile app, and desktop client.

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.
