Support for Google Drive for Mac/PC versions 1.22 and older ending on July 1, 2016 Posted: 03 May 2016 02:00 PM PDT Today, we're announcing that as of July 1, 2016, we will discontinue support for Drive for Mac/PC sync client versions 1.22 and lower and going forward, any Google Drive for Mac/PC versions which are older than 1 year old. Newer versions of the sync client offer several performance and security updates. We recommend that you take the following actions as soon as possible: If you manage your users' installations, upgrade by following the instructions in the "Install Google Drive for Mac/PC" Google Apps Administrator Help Center article. If users have installed the client on their own, direct them to the "Install Google Drive for your Mac/PC" Drive Help Center article for end-users. OS X and Windows users may check what version of the sync client they are using by clicking on the Drive for Mac/PC menu (which appear as three dots) and then clicking About. The dialog that appears will include the version number on it. Users still on versions 1.22 and lower after July 1, 2016 will no longer be able to sync files between Google Drive and local storage using Google Drive for Mac/PC. In the coming weeks, we'll also be contacting domain administrators whose users currently use older versions of Google Drive for Mac/PC and provide guidance on the appropriate migration path.

Contact importing now available in the new Google Contacts preview Posted: 03 May 2016 01:00 PM PDT We recently announced that the new Google Contacts is available for preview from the Admin console. By enabling the preview, administrators can allow their users access to the new Google Contacts, along with the many benefits that come with it, like a new fresh look and improved contact merge features. One popular request from Google Apps users was the ability to easily import their contacts into Google Contacts. We're happy to announce that starting today, the ability to import contacts, powered by ShuttleCloud, is now available for Google Apps users. Getting started for administrators Administrators must first enable the "Contacts Preview" for their users via Apps > Google Apps > Settings for Contacts > Advanced Settings Administrators must also enable "User email uploads" in the Gmail User Settings by going to Apps > Google Apps > Settings for Gmail > Advanced Settings Getting started for users Users can now import contacts from a wide variety of supported mail and contact sources. From the new Google Contacts preview, simply click More > Import > and choose the account that you'd like to migrate from. You will be prompted for that account's username and password, and your contacts will start transferring once you have successfully granted authorization. If you do need to import your contacts using a CSV file, click on CSV file in the above dialog box, and then click on Go to Old Contacts to be taken to Contacts Manager Launch Details Release track: Launching to both Rapid release and Scheduled release Rollout pace: Full rollout (1-3 days for feature visibility) Impact: All end users Action: Admin action suggested/FYI, OR Change management suggested/FYI More Information Enable the new Google Contacts for your users from the Admin console Note: all launches are applicable to all Google Apps editions unless otherwise noted Launch release calendar Launch detail categories Get these product update alerts by email Subscribe to the RSS feed of these updates
