Reminder: Making Google Apps Marketplace available to non-admins

As announced on Sept 17, the Google Apps Marketplace (GAM) will open to non-admins in Scheduled release domains by default early next week.

Admins can now choose to allow people from their organization to install any GAM apps via the GAM interface (vs having to visit a GAM app vendor website directly), or they can choose to customize which apps are made available to them in GAM for installation. They can also turn the feature off altogether if they so choose.

Please take the appropriate action for your organization in advance of this launch (see Help Center instructions linked below), planned for Tues, Oct 7th.

Note: This feature is automatically defaulted off for K-12 EDU domains.

Release track:

Scheduled release coming on Oct 7, 2104

Simpler, faster experience for the mobile web version of Google Drive

We’ve simplified the UI for the mobile web version of Google Drive, making it easier for people to access their files more quickly.

People accessing the new mobile web version of Drive will be able to view, download and print their files. However, to optimize the feature experience, they will be directed to download the new Drive and Docs editor apps for document creation and editing.

The new version is rolling out over the next several days. Visit http://drive.google.com from your mobile browser to give it a try.

Release track:

Rapid release and Scheduled release (gradual rollout)

This includes both the domain name (to the right of the @ symbol) and/or the local-part (to the left of the @ symbol), as in 武＠メール.グーグル.

New UI for all Google Drive pickers

We have launched a new UI for all Google Drive pickers--the interface that allows people to select and insert content stored in Google Drive (e.g. Insert files from Drive, Insert Images from Drive, etc). The UI will closely align with the new Google Drive UI, and will move all menu options from vertical tabs on the left side of the picker to horizontal tabs running along the top of the picker.
