<P> Before 2013, Google did not encrypt data stored on its servers . Following information that the United States' National Security Agency had "direct access" to servers owned by multiple technology companies, including Google, the company began testing encrypting data in July, and enabled encryption for data in transit between its data centers in November . However, as of 2015, Google Drive does not provide client - side encryption . </P> <P> Google Drive for Work is a business version, a part of G Suite (formerly Google Apps for Work), announced at the Google I / O conference on June 25, 2014 and made available immediately . The service features unlimited storage, advanced file audit reporting and eDiscovery services, along with enhanced administration control and new APIs specifically useful to businesses . Users can upload files as large as 5 TB . A press release posted on Google's Official Enterprise Blog assured businesses that Google will encrypt data stored on its servers, as well as information being transmitted to or from them . Google will deliver 24 / 7 phone support to business users and has guaranteed 99.9% uptime for its servers . </P> <P> In September 2015, Google announced that Google Drive for Work would be compliant with the new ISO / IEC 27018: 2014 security and privacy standard, which confirmed that Google would not use data in Drive for Work accounts for advertising, enabled additional tools for handling and exporting data, more transparency about data storage, and protection from third - party data requests . </P> <P> In March 2017, Google introduced Drive File Stream, making it possible for G Suite customers on Windows and macOS computers to search their Drive folders and download specific files on - demand rather than downloading all files during installation, potentially preventing large amounts of data from "gobbling up your hard drive". Additionally, the feature will guess what files users need in the future and download those files as well . </P>
