Google Workspace Wednesday

Issue #155 / 03-JUN-26

Organize My Files in Drive now generally available

In October 2025, Google launched a beta for Organize My Files in Drive. This feature is now generally available and has started rolling out to eligible Google Workspace and Google AI plans. It can be overwhelming to see loose files in your Drive and moving them into the right folder can be manual, tedious, and repetitive. Gemini can help you organize your Drive by providing suggestions of where to move loose files.

Share chats, canvases, and generated media from the Gemini app securely via Google Drive

Google is introducing the ability for Workspace users on the web to share snapshots of their chats, canvases, and generated media in the Gemini app. Because this feature is powered by the same underlying technology as Google Drive, it uses the familiar, consistent sharing interface you already rely on for Google Docs and other files.

Google Chat external interoperability with Microsoft Teams via NextPlane OpenHub is now available

Organizations often need to collaborate with customers, partners, and suppliers who use Microsoft Teams. NextPlane OpenHub was built to bridge this Google Chat and Microsoft Teams divide, and it is now launching external interoperability to allow communication across organizational boundaries. OpenHub directly connects Google Chat users to people on external Microsoft Teams tenants, making cross-platform collaboration more seamless.

Easily identify data irregularities with anomaly detection in Connected Sheets

You can now easily identify critical irregularities and outliers in your time-series data when using Connected Sheets to analyze BigQuery data sets from Google Sheets. Anomaly detection in Connected Sheets allows users to distinguish between expected trends and true outliers without requiring manual model training or complex SQL knowledge.

Keep track of student progress with learning standards and skills in Google Classroom

Google Classroom now allows educators to tag coursework and rubrics with learning goals, providing a more structured way to monitor student growth. When creating assignments, quiz assignments, questions, or materials, educators can search for available, established standards and skills or click on suggested goals, which use AI to analyze assignment and course content.
