Google Drive inventory reporting is now available in open beta

Google Drive inventory reporting is now available in open beta for Workspace Admins, providing enhanced visibility into data assets. By exporting data to BigQuery, admins can analyze file classifications, access permissions, and usage patterns. This comprehensive view helps admins identify security risks, such as unauthorized access or oversharing, and ensures compliance with data policies. The feature is available for Enterprise Standard and Plus, Education Standard and Plus, Enterprise Essentials Plus, and Frontline Standard users. Admins can enable it in the Admin console under Reporting > Data Integrations. This data analysis helps admins understand the full scope of their data assets, especially regarding sensitive information. It also aids in ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements for data retention and destruction. Drive inventory reporting is a more efficient alternative to piecing together data from various surfaces. Admins interested in providing feedback during the open beta can fill out a form. There is no impact or action required for end users.
