Google Drive

Overview

Google Drive enables individuals and teams to store, share, and collaborate on documents in the cloud. As part of Google Workspace, it offers powerful collaboration tools and tight integrations with Docs, Sheets, and Slides, making it a go-to choice for hybrid and remote teams.

Why it’s helpful to run Google Drive in Blue Border™

Venn integrates with Google Drive to enable secure, compliant access to business files – even on unmanaged or BYOD laptops – through Venn Disk, an encrypted virtual drive that mounts only after authentication into Venn’s Blue Border™. Once inside the secure enclave, users can access, edit, and collaborate on files stored in their corporate Google Drive without the risk of data mingling or exposure to personal apps. For more info on Venn Disk, see the video below.

Unlike standard configurations where users are often signed into both work and personal Google accounts simultaneously, Venn enforces strict separation of work content – ensuring that work files accessed via Google Drive are opened only within a secure, isolated workspace – and never moved to anything personal. This prevents accidental downloads, unauthorized sync, or sharing to personal Google accounts – a common challenge in distributed, hybrid, or contractor-heavy environments.
