2. Support for G Suite Team Drives
Collavate supports Team Drives supported by Google G Suite Business Edition. You can see the Team Drive folder shared with you or owned by you in the Collavate Drive menu. You can download the file from the Team Drive menu or upload the file to your team drive, as shown in the following screenshot. In addition, Collavate DLP, the Google Drive Data Leakage Prevention (DLP) solution now works with Team Drives.
3. Collavate Independent Account Services
Now, even if you do not have a Google account, you can sign up directly to Collavate. If you do not have a Google account, you can create a new account and login as usual. Please see this help guide for how to create it.
You can use the home (post) menu after logging in as a Collavate account. If you create a group, a group file repository will be created in the Collavate’s own Google Cloud Storage (up to 2 gigabytes).
By logging in with your Google account, you and your colleagues will be able to communicate in the Home (post) menu and post group.
However, in order to join a group that uses Google Drive as a repository, you need to associate your Collavate account with a Google account.
Once you’ve linked your personal Gmail or Google Maps Suite account to a Collavate Independent account, you can use all of the features of Collavate. In the future, we will also be able to manage users in our company’s personal Gmail account through a Collavate account.
