Question 1

What does Drive Guard for Admins by 8apps do?

Accepted Answer

Drive Guard for Admins lets a Google Workspace admin install Drive Guard for every user in the organisation in one action, and gives admins their own space to audit access across all of those Drives – external access, public links and legacy access, on one dashboard, with exportable reports.

Question 2

How is Drive Guard for Admins different from Drive Guard?

Accepted Answer

Drive Guard is personal: each person installs it and audits their own Drive. Drive Guard for Admins is for the whole organisation: one Workspace admin installs it for every user, scans across all their Drives, and manages everything from a separate admin space – with its own pricing.

How do I install it for my whole organisation?

Accepted Answer

Open the Drive Guard listing on the Google Workspace Marketplace signed in as an admin and choose the admin install. That deploys it to every user in your organisation in one action.
