What’s changing
In July 2024, we introduced Enterprise Content Delivery Network (eCDN) support for Google Meet, which helps reduce live streaming bandwidth consumption to a fraction of the traffic volume. Today, we are announcing enhancements that will give admins greater insight to better optimize their eCDN configuration.
eCDN is deployed according to settings and rules configured by admins to control and optimize peering across their network topology. Beginning today, admins can turn on client debug logs in the Admin console to get detailed information and better understand how configurations affect the way clients use eCDN in different parts of their private network. This information includes:
Device status: information about the client’s current state.Network: information about the network assigned to the client (potentially through a custom rule configuration).Stats: performance information about how the client has used the eCDN such as transfer rates and peer connections.
Who’s impacted
Admins
Why you’d use it
Understanding how peering rules affect the way clients use eCDN is vital for achieving bandwidth savings targets. Access to detailed information lets administrators deploy eCDN faster across their subnets while all the time being able to monitor that their rules have the intended effect. Additionally, in cases where support is needed, the information contained in the debug logs helps with troubleshooting to resolve issues faster.

What’s changing
Under the umbrella of our data migration services, we’re introducing a new file migration service for Admins to transfer files between OneDrive data to Google Drive for up to 100 users at a time. Available directly under the Admin console, super admins can now migrate all your files and folders, as well as their corresponding access permissions with shared members. Starting a migration entails a few simple steps:
First, connect to the Microsoft OneDrive account you want to transfer files fromNext, set the migration scope by identifying the email addresses of Microsoft OneDrive users that you wish to migrate.Finally, create an identity map to connect users on the source account to users on the target account.
Admin console > Data > Data import & export > Data migration > Go to data migration > Microsoft OneDrive
The console will provide reporting on the migration progression and metrics such as how many users have been processed, how many files have been migrated or skipped, and more. You’ll also have the option to export a migration report to further investigate errors and access troubleshooting tips directly from the tool. You can also make
delta updates to migrate any new files that were added or updated after a previous migration.

Why you’d use it
Data migrations play a critical role in ensuring a seamless transition between various tools and Google Workspace for both admins and end users. Workspace now offers a first party solution that allows our customers to migrate their data at scale, and without the need for third-party workarounds or on-premises infrastructure. This will significantly reduce the overall migration process and onboarding time to Google Workspace, saving customers considerable administrative and infrastructural costs. Additionally, it ensures minimal interruption for end users, who will be able to access all of their files and documents within Google Drive.
Getting started
Admins: This feature is available in open beta – no additional sign-up is required to use the feature. This migration can only be performed by super admins. Visit the Help Center to learn more about
migrating files from a OneDrive account.End users: There is no end user action required.

1 New update
Unless otherwise indicated, the features below are available to all Google Workspace customers, and are fully launched or in the process of rolling out. Rollouts should take no more than 15 business days to complete if launching to both Rapid and Scheduled Release at the same time. If not, each stage of rollout should take no more than 15 business days to complete.
Create an email for a Google Chat space from the Admin console
Earlier this year, we introduced a new feature that enables users to send emails to spaces in Google Chat. When this launched, existing Google Group policies determined by the domain admin were respected. For example, if the admin restricted group creation in their organization, users would also be restricted from generating emails for spaces in Chat. To improve upon this experience, we’re happy to announce that admins can now create an email for a space from the Admin console. To do so, navigate to Google Chat > ‘Manage spaces’ > select a space > ‘Space settings’ > click ‘Generate email’ to create an email address for the space. In addition, email conversations sent to spaces will now show replies in a thread instead of as separate cards in the message stream. | The Admin console update is rolling out now to
Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains. Threading for emails in spaces will rollout to
Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains starting on October 17, 2024. | Available to all Google Workspace customers. | Visit the Help Center to learn more about
