Product Updates

 

Google Drive: the newest member of Google Apps
Last week, Google launched the much-anticipated Google Drive. Google Drive is a new file synchronization product that allows users to centrally store all of their files in Google Docs and accessed via a web browser, the sync client, and the mobile app. More importantly, once you become an Authorized Google Apps Reseller, Google Drive business storage would allow you to centrally purchase and allocate storage licenses to your customers and their users. This will provide additional storage, backup and disaster recovery service offerings you can bring to your customers and more recurring revenue opportunities for your business.

New contacts delegation
You may now delegate your contacts to other users within your domain. Like mail delegation, you may delegate your contacts to no more than 25 other users at the same time. Delegation allows the sharing of the entire "My Contacts" list. Learn more.

New administrative roles
Previously, administrator privileges were assigned on a per-user basis. As a replacement, you can now create "roles" such as Help Desk, Services, and Groups, or create your own custom roles for Google Apps customers you would manage once you become an Authorized Google Apps Reseller. Learn more.

Disable automatic forwarding in Gmail
By default, Gmail lets users automatically forward incoming mail to another address. As an administrator for all your customers, you can disable this option to prevent your customers from setting up automatic forwarding. Learn how.
